Sun Aug 1, 5:35 PM ET By Patricia Wilson

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (Reuters) - Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said on Sunday he did not anticipate sending more American troops to Iraq (news - web sites) and hoped to bring "significant numbers" home during his first term.

Promising a fresh start with U.S. allies alienated by President Bush (news - web sites), Kerry said, "I would consider it an unsuccessful policy if I hadn't brought significant numbers of troops back within the first term. And I will do that." <snip>

The poll of registered voters(CNN/Gallup) showed Kerry leading 50 percent to 47 percent for Bush, compared to a larger lead last month, 49 percent to 45 percent. <snip>
