Democratic challenger John Kerry has nearly closed a seven-point gap among Florida likely voters and now trails President George W. Bush 48 - 47 percent, a statistical tie, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Independent candidate Ralph Nader gets 1 percent.


This compares to President Bush's 51 - 44 percent likely voter lead over Sen. Kerry in an October 7 poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN uh-pe-ack) University.


Among registered voters backing Bush, 80 percent say they are voting mainly for the President. Among Kerry supporters, 56 percent are voting mainly for the Democrat and 39 percent voting mainly against Bush.


"The race in Florida is going down to the wire again. Sen. Kerry, bolstered by his strong showing in the debates, has nearly closed the gap on President Bush. The debates strengthened Kerry's image in Florida, where for the first time more Kerry supporters say their vote means they are voting for the Senator, and not just against President Bush," said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
