WASHINGTON - Picking John Edwards as his running mate has given Democratic presumptive presidential nominee John Kerry a five-point bounce among Pennsylvania voters, according to a new poll.

A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday shows Kerry with 46 percent of voter support, with President Bush at 41 percent and independent Ralph Nader at 5 percent. That's Kerry's largest Keystone State lead in a three-way race since the Massachusetts senator emerged as his party's presidential pick in March.

A Quinnipiac poll last month showed Kerry and Bush deadlocked, 43 percent to 42 percent, with Nader at 7 percent.

The new survey of 1,577 registered Pennsylvania voters was taken July 6-11 - as Kerry announced his selection of Edwards, the charismatic North Carolina senator, as his running mate.
