President Bush’s lead over John Kerry has vanished in most polls following Thursday’s debate. A Newsweek poll now has Kerry beating Bush 47 to 45 percent. Among those polled, 61 percent said Kerry was the clear winner of the debate while less than 20 percent said Bush had won the debate. Four weeks ago the same Newsweek poll found Bush beating Kerry by an 11 point margin. Tomorrow night Vice President Dick Cheney and Kerry’s running mate John Edwards will take part in the first and only vice presidential debate.
