Too short to excerpt.
President Bush surged to a solid lead in the latest USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup national poll, opening up an eight-point spread over Democratic challenger John Kerry.
In a poll taken Thursday-Saturday, Bush received 52% support from likely voters, Kerry received 44% and independent Ralph Nader received 1%. Three percent of likely voters had no opinion.
The 52% figure is a tie for Bush's largest support number since March, when it first became apparent Kerry would be the Democratic presidential nominee. Posted at 1:04 p.m. ET. It is a significant change from a poll of only a week ago, when Kerry received 49%, Bush received 48% and Nader received 1%. Posted at 1:13 p.m. ET.
