Bush surges in poll By USA TODAY staff Posted 10/17/2004 2:25 PM usatoday.com WASHINGTON — With just two weeks left until Election Day, President Bush surged to an eight-point lead over Democratic challenger John Kerry in the latest USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup national poll, a margin comparable to one he enjoyed immediately before the three presidential debates. (Related link: Poll results) In a poll taken Thursday-Saturday, Bush received 52% support from likely voters, Kerry received 44% and independent Ralph Nader received 1%. Three percent of likely voters had no opinion. The poll was based on a survey of 788 likely voters, with a margin of error of +/-4 percentage points. The 52-44 spread is identical to the margin Bush enjoyed in the USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup poll immediately before the debates. The survey shows significant movement since the last USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup poll, taken Oct. 9-10, which showed Kerry with 49% support to Bush's 48% and Nader's 1%. Bush regained a lead in the poll even though a plurality of likely voters thought Kerry won last Wednesday's debate — 47% for Kerry to 35% for Bush. But the percentage of likely voters who view Bush favorably climbed in the past week from 51% to 58%, while the number who viewed Kerry favorably stayed at the 51% level. Kerry also finds himself battling the Bush campaign's attempts to label him as too liberal. Among likely voters, half (52%) say Kerry's political views are too liberal. Conversely, 41% of likely voters see Bush as too conservative. Bush also has a lead in other recent polls. A Newsweek poll released Friday gave Bush 50% to Kerry's 44%; a Time magazine poll released the same day gave Bush a 48-47 edge; Friday's poll from The Washington Post gave Bush a 50-47 advantage and a Zogby poll released Friday gave Bush 48% and Kerry 44%. The USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup poll is based on interviews with 1,013 national adults. The poll has a margin of error of between 3% and 5%, depending on the question.
