June 16, 2008 — If John Kerry were to face a strong candidate in running for re-election this fall, he might be vulnerable, as 51 percent of general election voters polled by 7NEWS/Suffolk University said it’s time to give someone else a chance, while 38 percent said the senator deserves to be reelected. Nine percent were undecided, and 2 percent refused a response in the poll released today.
"This number signals to us a potential weakness; if the right candidate came along, John Kerry would be vulnerable," said David Paleologos, director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk University. "The hook is that no credible candidate has challenged Kerry to date, and it all comes down to the choices on the actual ballot."
