Dean leads Kerry by 9 pts in Mass!

[Mentalist]

Sen. John F. Kerry is facing a backyard beating at the hands of presidential primary nemesis Howard Dean, losing his own state by a staggering 9 points in a new Boston Herald poll.


Dean, who already stole the primary leads from a faltering Kerry in New Hampshire and Iowa, would pummel the hometown senator 33 percent to 24 percent if voting were held today.

Worse for Kerry, Dean leads here by riding the longtime senator's supposed core base - liberals, Democrats and older voters.

The fact that he can come into Massachusetts, John Kerry's home state, where Democrats are so familiar with the senator, and still have a 9-point lead really speaks to the strength of the Dean campaign and his core messages, said Herald pollster R. Kelly Myers

As John Kerry would say, "Howard Dean is Imploding!"

3. It is also possible that he has spent so much time in Iowa and NH

that they may no longer remember him.

6. Polls continue to show Dean's strong support among older folk...

Despite the characterizations otherwise...Dean's key support is not the youth vote, it is among those 30 and older who reliably vote!
