Kerry Fails to Get Lift From Edwards’ Pick, Zogby Poll Shows

Can we start gloating now? I think so!

Democratic candidate John Kerry’s standing against President George W. Bush didn’t improve following his pick of North Carolina Senator John Edwards as his running mate July 6, according to a Zogby International poll.

Forty-eight percent of 1,008 likely voters polled by Zogby from July 6-7 supported Kerry and Edwards and 46 percent back Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. The two percentage-point margin is within the poll’s 3.1 percentage point margin of error and matches the two point spread in a Zogby poll taken June 2-5.

No word on how Kerry’s negatives are doing. What’s great about this is that GOP polling doesn’t reflects more of a Bush lead than the liberal-slanted polling data. So for a campaign that really hasn’t gotten off the ground running yet, Bush/Cheney is doing very, very well.
