WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
Democratic challenger John
Kerry expanded his slight
lead over President Bush to
three points in a tight race for the White House, according to a
Reuters/Zogby poll released on Monday.

The Massachusetts senator held a 47-44 percent lead over Bush in
the latest three-day tracking poll, up two points from Sunday. Bush's
support dropped one point and Kerry's support rose one point in the
new poll.

The close race turns up the pressure for Wednesday's final debate in
Tempe, Arizona, when the White House rivals will have another
chance to make their case to voters on domestic issues.
