Pennsylvania Poll Shows Kerry Holding Lead
A Quinnipiac University poll released on August 18th shows Democratic challenger John Kerry holding a 47 – 42 percent lead over President George W. Bush among Pennsylvania voters, with 4 percent for independent candidate Ralph Nader.
Military veterans or voters with a household member who is a veteran or currently in active duty or reserve service support Kerry 46 – 42 percent, with 6 percent for Nader. These voters from military families say 54 – 41 percent that the war is wrong.
"Despite a month of relentless campaigning by the Republican and Democratic camps in Pennsylvania, the presidential horse race remains virtually the same" said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
"In what may prove to be damaging news for the President, the anti-war attitude among voters from military households in Pennsylvania is greater than the attitude among all voters. Kerry hold the same slim lead among these voters that he has among the electorate in general," Richards added.
