A new poll in the swing state Wisconsin shows President Bush starting to open up a lead — now 8 points — over Democrat John Kerry in a state that's a near must-win for Kerry.
Bush had 52 percent among likely voters and Kerry 44 percent, with independent Ralph Nader trailing at 1 percent in the Gallup-CNN poll taken Thursday through Sunday.
But Bush's lead is within the poll's 5-point error margin.
