WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) has pulled ahead of President Bush (news - web sites) in a poll published by Newsweek magazine showing Thursday's television debate erased the lead Bush had enjoyed for the last month.

In a two-way contest, the Kerry/Edwards ticket in the Nov. 2 presidential election led by 49 percent against 46 percent for Bush/Cheney, according to 1,013 registered voters polled by Princeton Survey Research Associates International.

According to the poll, 61 percent of Americans who watched the first presidential debate on Sept. 30 said Kerry won, 19 percent said Bush won and 16 percent said they tied. The number of debate viewers surveyed was 770.

2. It's good news, of course, but...

...their polls have been all over the place this year. I still think Kerry trails by a point or two, but clearly the debate opened some eyes and things are moving back in the right direction again.
