And, among likely voters, Kerry leads 55-43 percent, and Edwards 54-44 percent.
The poll was taken Feb. 16-17 and has a 3-point error margin.

The critics in the media are underestimating President Bush again. The President's critics have consistently failed to understand his determination to take on the tough challenges and lead in the war on terror. They will be confounded once again.
The misunderestimators are back, dripping with their old familiar condescension and contempt for President Bush. Liberals who were forced by bitter circumstance over the past two-plus years to face the truth about the very formidable George W. Bush are now retreating into their old comfortable ways.
But the Left ought to temper its glee: Bush has basically suffered through a single unfavorable month in the polls in the course of a tenure now 36 months long. The president who has been setting a new standard for presidential action ever since he took office (recall that even before 9/11 Bush had forced through his $1.6 trillion tax cut and his education bill despite his lack of a electoral mandate) is exactly the same man he was in December.
The misunderestimators are thrilled by Bush's troubles because they no longer have to struggle with the cognitive dissonance that has troubled them from the start of his presidency.
