WASHINGTON - Both John Kerry and John Edwards are ahead of President Bush by
double digits when matched against him in hypothetical elections, says a
poll released Wednesday.
Kerry, the Democratic front-runner and a Massachusetts senator, leads Bush
by 55 percent to 43 percent among likely voters, according to the CNN-USA
Today-Gallup poll. Edwards, the North Carolina senator who is challenging
Kerry, leads Bush by 54 percent to 44 percent.

Most US workers saw their earnings fall or stagnate last year, with those at
the bottom of the income scale hit hardest.
The trend, coming alongside a slack job market, explains why many Americans
feel left out of the economic recovery - and why President Bush faces a
tough sell with his campaign-trail message that there is "good strong
growth." Democratic rivals point to "two Americas," one for the rich, one
for the poor.
