President Bush appears vulnerable on several fronts, including support for whether he deserves re-election and worries about the country's direction, but Democratic rival John Kerry has been unable to capitalize on those weaknesses, a bipartisan poll suggests.

The survey was conducted by Republican pollster Ed Goeas and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. Bush and Kerry were virtually tied in the survey, with Kerry at 49 percent...
