Yahoo! News - Poll: Four-Way Democratic Race Tightens in Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) - Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) slipped and Howard Dean (news - web sites) gained ground in Iowa in a tightening four-way presidential race ahead of Monday's state caucuses, according to a Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby poll released on Saturday.

Kerry held a slim lead over Dean, 22.6 percent to 22.1 percent, in the latest three-day tracking poll, with Gephardt in third place at 19.1 percent and Edwards moving up to 17.9 percent.

Dean gained three percentage points in one day while Kerry, who has roared to the top of the Democratic pack in Iowa during the last week, dropped by more than one point.

*Sigh*. This would be a lot easier if we had a clear-cut frontrunner so we could focus on Bush and the issues instead of savaging each other. I realize it's still early with time to heal and come together, but I've heard (read) some real nasty things in the past few days.

Everybody.....let's sing Kumbya or something...
