BUSH LEADS GORE BY FIVE POINTS

With just over a week to go before the elections, the latest Harris Poll finds that Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore are still in a close struggle, but that Bush enjoys a clear, if not huge, lead of 5 percentage points.

This new Harris Poll is based on telephone interviews conducted with a nationwide sample of 906 registered voters of whom 813 are likely voters, interviewed between October 19th and 26th.

The results are that 48% of likely voters now say they are likely to vote for George W. Bush and 43% say they are likely to vote for Al Gore, with Ralph Nader (5%) and Pat Buchanan (1%) dividing the rest of the vote. If these Harris Poll numbers are reproduced on Election Day, Nader's vote would be virtually identical with Governor Bush's margin of victory. If all Nader voters switched to Al Gore, Bush and Gore would be neck and neck. LINK
