US man captured in Afghanistan may be freed Los Angeles Times; The Los Angeles Times is a Tribune Co newspaper August 27, 2004 WASHINGTON -- President George W Bush has moved past Sen. John Kerry in three hotly contested Midwestern battleground states despite continued doubts about the country's direction and the president's policies, Los Angeles Times polls have found. Bush has opened leads within the margin of error in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Missouri. The surveys show Kerry has difficulty converting a desire for change into support for his candidacy. He trails even though a majority of voters in all three states said the country is not better off because of Bush's policies and "needs to move in a new direction." The Times Poll contacted more than 500 voters in each state from Aug. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points. In Wisconsin and Ohio, a group of Vietnam veterans has run ads accusing Kerry of lying to win medals in Vietnam. In Wisconsin, 55 percent of voters said they thought Kerry had earned his medals, while 16 percent believed he had misrepresented his service. In Missouri, 54 percent said they accepted Kerry's version, 17 percent sided with the critics. In Ohio, 51 percent said they accepted his version while 20 percent did not.
