DURHAM, N.H. -- More New Hampshire voters think former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean can defeat President George W. Bush than any other candidate.

In a poll of likely Democratic primary voters, 37 percent said they believe Dean is the most likely candidate to defeat Bush. Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry was second, with 21 percent saying he's the biggest threat.

The poll of 446 voters was conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center and sponsored by WMUR-TV. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.6 percent.

After the two leaders, the other Democratic candidates didn't fare so well, with 8 percent naming retired Gen. Wesley Clark, 6 percent naming Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt, 3 percent naming North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, 2 percent naming Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman and 3 percent naming other candidates.

Twenty percent said they didn't know who would have the best shot of defeating Bush.
