KERRY TAKES BACK LEAD!

Bloomberg.com: Top Worldwide: "Oct. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry took the lead over U.S. President George W. Bush following this week's debate, a Newsweek magazine poll showed.
Kerry, a four-term senator from Massachusetts and vice presidential candidate Senator John Edwards of North Carolina led Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney 49 percent to 46 percent in the poll of 1,013 registered voters conducted the past two days.
Bush led by as much as 8 percentage points going into the debate, according to four national polls. Iraq dominated the forum between Bush and Kerry, who called Bush's decision to invade the country a ``colossal'' mistake because the president didn't have enough global support for the war. Bush countered that Kerry is sending ``mixed signals'' to the troops and enemies by criticizing the use of force after he voted to authorize the attack.
``There are a lot of polls out right now, but given that there are only 30 days to go to the election, we prefer our candidate's record and message'' to Kerry's, said Reed Dickens, a spokesman for the Bush campaign. "
