AFP - US Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry leads President George W Bush 52 per cent to 44 per cent in a hypothetical two-way race after the Democratic Party's convention, Newsweek magazine reported.
In a three-way race including independent Ralph Nader, Kerry would draw 49 per cent of the vote, Bush 42 per cent and Nader three per cent, the survey showed.
The poll of 1,010 adults was taken July 29-30 as the Democratic National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts wound down.
In a hypothetical two-way race in a Newsweek poll taken July 8-9, Kerry led Bush 51 per cent to 45 per cent. And in a three-way race in that poll, Kerry led Bush 47 per cent to 44 per cent, with Nader garnering three per cent of the vote.
A recent Gallup review of 10 elections showed US presidential candidates averaged a 6.1-point bounce after their respective party conventions.
The latest Newsweek poll also showed 60 per cent of those asked said Bush's policies and diplomatic efforts had led to more anti-American feelings around the world, 25 per cent thought they had not had much effect, and nine per cent thought they had improved feelings toward America.
Of those asked, 43 per cent thought that in trying to achieve his foreign policy goals, Bush had not done enough to involve major allies and international organisations, 38 per cent thought it was the right amount and 11 per cent thought it was too much.
Thirty-eight per cent said the way people in other countries feel about America matters "a lot"; 33 per cent "somewhat"; 11 per cent "not too much" and 13 per cent "not at all".
