Democrat John Edwards holds the upper hand against two prospective Republican presidential nominees in
the United States, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports. 48 per cent of respondents would support the former North Carolina senator, while 41 per cent would vote for Republican Arizona senator John McCain.

Edwards holds a two-point edge in a contest against former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.

On May 18, Edwards urged the federal government to authorize a pay raise for U.S. troops, saying, "The Department of Defence has already extended tours in Iraq from 12 to 15 months—a decision that I have said borders on the unconscionable. I believe we need to do everything we can to better stand by those who stand by us—and we can start with improved pay and death benefits."
