STORRS, Conn. -- Strong support from independent voters has powered Democrat John Kerry into a wide lead over Republican George W. Bush in Connecticut, according to a University of Connecticut poll released Monday.

Less than six weeks ago, as Kerry was just beginning his domination of the Democratic primaries, a national UConn poll showed the two men virtually tied in a head-to-head matchup.

As Kerry pulled off a near sweep of the presidential contests, locking up the Democratic nomination earlier this month, his numbers in Connecticut soared.

In the latest UConn poll, conducted March 25-28, Kerry received 52 percent of the vote, compared to 33 percent for Bush and 4 percent for Connecticut native Ralph Nader, who is running as an independent.
