3. Here's one, from PA
Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry has left the Democratic presidential pack in the dust in Pennsylvania and, in a head-to-head face-off, now leads President George W. Bush 50 – 45 percent among all voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Pennsylvania voters give President Bush a negative 47 – 49 percent approval rating, his lowest ever in the state and down from 53 – 43 percent December 17.

"The sharp decline in President Bush's approval rating in Pennsylvania is due in large part to the economy. Pennsylvania voters say the economy is the No. 1 issue in the presidential campaign and an overwhelming 67 percent describe the state's economy as "not so good" or "poor." Only 32 percent describe it as "excellent" or "good," said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

"For the first time a Democrat – John Kerry – is seen as beating Bush in Pennsylvania. That's a reflection of not only the economy, but politics. Kerry is riding the crest of an apparently easy ride to the Democratic nomination while Bush is stuck trying to explain whether he showed up for National Guard duty during the Vietnam war,” Richards added.

The economy is the most important presidential campaign issue, 36 percent of Pennsylvania voters say, followed by 19 percent who list health care, 14 percent who say terrorism, 13 percent who say Iraq, 7 percent who say taxes and 5 percent who say gay marriage.

No Edwards v Bush numbers, though.
