Polls show Kerry, Bush still even in W.Va.

As John Kerry closed the Democratic National Convention and embarked on a tour of battleground states, a new poll shows him tied with President Bush in West Virginia.

Kerry, the Democratic nominee, has 47 percent to Bush’s 44 percent, according to the American Research Group poll released Thursday. The results are within the poll’s four-point margin of error.

Independent candidate Ralph Nader, whose campaign submitted signatures to get him on West Virginia’s ballot Thursday, has 3 percent, and 6 percent of those polled are undecided. The poll was conducted Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

The numbers for Kerry and Bush are identical to a poll the group released on June 17, and the results have not changed much since March 24, when the group showed Kerry and Bush tied at 46 percent in the state.

1. Excellent news - welcome back to the fold, WV

if undecideds break 4-2 for Kerry and Nader and others holds at three, it looks like a +5 for Kerry at this point. I am pretty hopeful this margin can hold up in November with a strong effort by the DEMs in this traditionally DEM state. GOP, NRA, and RW groups will be pouring money in again but hopefully the Kerry campaign will do a better job of countering than Gore campaign did.
