Kerry leads Bush by 7 points in new poll, Democrat ahead 51 to 44 percent

We all know these things will be all over the map, and GWB has $200 million+ to spend, and it doesn't seem like a walk-in for the Rs.

Kerry’s margin of 7 percentage points shrinks only slightly to 6 percentage points, 48-42, in a three-way race with independent candidate Ralph Nader getting 4 percentage points, poll results show.

The Times said that "widespread unease over the country's direction and doubts about President Bush's policies on Iraq" by voters are behind Kerry's good showing and the poll suggests "that attitudes may be coalescing for a contest that pivots on the classic electoral question at times of discontent: Will voters see more risk in stability or change?"

Bush campaign officials blasted the poll as "a mess."

However, there are those posters who would always point to GWBs popularity as the measure of the correctness of his policies. Wonder what they're thinking as the numbers drop?
