Zogby poll shows Gephardt would challenge Bush for president
A new Zogby International Poll shows that U.S. Rep. Richard Gephardt (D-Third District) would be the toughest candidate for President George W. Bush to face in the 2004 election.
While the poll showed that 52 percent of respondents had a positive rating of Bush's performance, it showed that Gephardt has a six-point lead over Bush, and is the only Democrat who would beat Bush among independent voters.
Forty-eight percent of voters said they want someone new as president, while 45 percent said Bush should be re-elected.
The survey polled 1,011 likely voters between September 2002 and August 2003.
