Sen. John Kerry "has taken a one-point lead" over President Bush in the latest Rasmussen Reports national tracking poll. "It has been a remarkable two weeks for the Senator. He trailed the President by 15-points immediately prior to the Iowa caucuses."
"Some Republicans indicate that they believe the public will eventually reject Kerry because he is a Massachusetts liberal. However, at this point in the process, just 37% of Americans identify the Massachusetts Senator as a liberal. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Americans view him as a moderate while 11% say he is a political conservative."
