<P><STRONG>"CBS)&nbsp;</STRONG>One week after their convention, the Republican ticket of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney hold a seven-point lead over Democrats John Kerry and John Edwards among registered voters surveyed in a new <B>CBS News</B> poll. <BR><BR>The Republicans’ gain in voter support comes about through two changes that appear to have happened at that convention – a major improvement in the President’s approval ratings on handling terrorism (already the area where he scored best), and significant negative changes in perceptions of the Democratic nominee." </P>
