Bush keeps lead in N.H. polls
The Associated Press
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Two weeks before the New Hampshire primary, polls show President Bush maintaining at least a 2-1 lead over challenger Patrick Buchanan in the state, while the Democrats are in a tight, volatile race.
A Boston Herald-WCVB-TV poll of 404 likely Republican voters in the state showed Bush ahead 59 percent to 28 percent. The University of New Hampshire Survey Center conducted a poll for WMUR-TV in which Bush led 60 percent to 23 percent among 499 likely GOP voters.
Up to 35 percent were undecided or not firmly committed in the WMUR poll, said Kelly Myers, the center's associate director. The size of that number, coupled with widespread dissatisfaction about the economy, leaves an opening for Buchanan to pick up more support, Myers said.
The polls had margins of sampling error of plus or minus 5 percentage points for the Herald poll and 4 points for WMUR's.
A weekend poll of 401 probable Democratic primary voters taken in New Hampshire by the bipartisan Sawyer Miller Group of Washington, D.C. showed Clinton at 27 percent and
former Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas at 24 percent, followed by Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerney at 17 percent, Iowa Sen. Tom Harink at 10 percent and former California Gov. Jerry Brown at 8 percent.
The pollsters said that the race was volatile because only 20 percent said they definitely would vote for the candidate they preferred.
When voters were given the option of writing in New York Gov. Mario Cuomo's name, the split was Tsongas 20 percent, Cuomo 19 percent and Clinton 19 percent, a statistical three-way tie.
Bloodstains scrutinized in Morris trial
By Michelle Betts Kansan staff writer
A former forensic serologist from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation testified yesterday that blood found on a golf club and a pair of jeans was consistent with the blood type and enzymes of a Lawrence man who was murdered last August.
The items are evidence in the trial of Kenneth Morris, who is charged with the Aug. 8 murder of Danny Davis.
Rita Dole, a forensic serologist who examined evidence from blood and body fluids for the KBI, said she tested the blood on the golf club that allegedly was used to bludgeon Davis.
Dole said she also tested a pair of
jeans this month worn by Kenneth Morris during his arrest. The jeans had six bloodstains on them, five of which were consistent with the blood type and enzymes present in Davis' blood, she said.
The sixth bloodstain was too small to produce results, she said.
However, the defense argued that Davis' blood type, Type A, was common in white people in the United States, and that the blood on the jeans may have come from Morris if he was injured during his arrest.
During cross-examination, Dole said heat, humidity and time could cause the dried blood's genetic markers to deteriorate. The markers indicate who may have contributed a
bloodstain.
Helen Turner, a latent print investigator for the KBI, said she examined fingerprints found on items taken from the scene of Davis' murder.
Turner said she found 29 usable prints on crime-scene items. Usable prints are hand or fingerprints that are not smudged and have characteristic, individual ridge patterns.
Turner identified seven of the prints as belonging to Davis and said she identified no prints from Morris.
Doctors involved in the investigation are expected to testify today.
