Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, the Senator from Massachusetts, defeats President Bush 52 percent to 43 percent, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll.

Amid growing doubts over the intelligence used to back the war in Iraq, the poll shows a majority of voters, 52 percent, believe Bush is "honest and trustworthy." This is down 7 percentage points since late October.

A majority, 54 percent, also thought Bush exaggerated or lied about prewar intelligence. Bush's approval rating is hovering at 50 percent.
