OR: Kerry Pads Narrow Lead in Latest Poll

Posted by DavidNYC

The Portland Tribune (whose polling is apparently done by Research 2000) gives us some new numbers (late April in parens):

Kerry: 50 (48)
Bush: 46 (46)
Undecided: 4 (6)

Avec Ralph (no April numbers, apparently):

Kerry: 47
Bush: 45
Nader: 3
Undecided: 5
(MOE: ��4%)

Some other good news in this poll: Independents now favor Kerry 54-39 (up from 51-39). Bush's approve-disapprove is way below the Mendoza line: 43-46 (from 46-42). And Nader's support is a lot lower here than in other polls (albeit by different outfits), though two different gurus quoted in the article are certain Nader will be a factor in this race.

(Thanks to Paleo.)
