AP Poll: Kerry Gains Support in South

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrat John Kerry has solidified his base, gained some ground in the South and among lower income voters and seen independent Ralph Nader's support drop, according to an Associated Press poll.

Still, Kerry is slightly behind President Bush in the AP-Ipsos poll that found voters increasingly confident about the economy just as Kerry picked his running mate.

The addition of Sen. John Edwards to the ticket appears to have helped Kerry in some ways the four-term Massachusetts senator had hoped for when he selected the North Carolina populist over more seasoned politicians.

"I'm more impressed with Kerry now that he chose Edwards," said Republican voter Robin Smith, 45, a teacher from Summerville, S.C. "I look at Kerry and I don't trust him, but he's got Edwards, who's more middle-of-the-road, a strong speaker, more able to reach the common man."

1. yeah but losing support in the West

Did you check it?

Bush leading like 10% in the west. I think West means CA, WA, OR. CA is in the bag so this means Oregon and Washington are not looking good right now :(

2. The AP poll is markedly out of step with all of the other polls.
