HARRISBURG, Pa. - Rising anti-war sentiment in Pennsylvania has helped Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's regain ground in traditional Republican areas, according to a poll released Tuesday.

The survey by Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University shows Kerry with 46 percent to 44 percent for President Bush among likely voters about two weeks after a similar poll showed 48 percent for Bush and 47 percent for Kerry.

Among a larger sample of registered voters, Kerry opened up a slight lead over the Republican incumbent, 46 percent to 41 percent. In a three-way race that includes independent Ralph Nader, who is fighting in court to be listed on the state's ballot, Kerry maintained a slight lead over Bush, 46 percent to 42 percent, while Nader had 4 percent.

The poll also showed an erosion in support for the war in Iraq: 49 percent disapproved of the war while 43 percent approved of it. The previous poll found Pennsylvania voters evenly divided over the war.

3. I think PA is in the bag. Q-pac always puts the Reps on top

because I think they sample like gallup. Look to Zogby or Harris.
