WASHINGTON - Democratic Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) has improved his image with voters on whether he would show good judgment in a crisis, but many Americans still think it's risky to replace President Bush (news - web sites) in times of terrorism.
Bush and Kerry were tied at 47 percent each among likely voters in the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Independent Ralph Nader (news - web sites) got the backing of 1 percent.

Voter approval for Bush has slipped in the Pew poll in several areas over the last month, notably handling terrorism, with about half, 49 percent, now approving — compared to 62 percent who approved of Bush on this issue in September. Bush still leads Kerry on who would do the better job on terrorism.
Bush led Kerry, 48 percent to 41 percent, on which candidate would use better judgment in a crisis — an area where Bush led by 21 points soon after the Republican convention. Bush's backing in the head-to-head race is in the 40s as well as his job approval — which was at 44 percent in the Pew poll.
Chimpy's going down!
