Kerry Leads Bush in Zogby Poll With Help of Independent Voters.

April 19 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's support among independent voters is fueling his lead over President George W. Bush in the latest Zogby International survey, the polling firm said.

Kerry, a Massachusetts senator, has support from 47 percent of likely voters to Bush's 44 percent, according to the poll conducted April 15-17. Among self-described independents, Kerry, 60, leads Bush, 57, 48 percent to 38 percent. About 7 percent of voters are undecided. The survey of 1,049 adults has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

The poll also found Kerry holds a bigger lead in states that Democrat Al Gore won in 2000 than Bush does in 30 states he captured in the last election, one of the closest presidential ballots in U.S. history.
