AlGore the Junior is repellent, while George Bush is the strong, personable leader: NEW YORK TIMES/CBS NEWS POLL: BUSH PREFERRED OVER GORE 'ACROSS THE DEMOGRAPHIC SPECTRUM' The latest TIMES/CBS NEWS poll shows George W. Bush as the likely winner in the November election, according to a frontpage story filed by the TIMES' Richard Berke and Janet Elder. The poll shows Bush ahead of Gore "as the preferred candidate across the demographic spectrum" -- most importantly in three key groups which went to the Democrats in the last presidential election: Catholics, independents and Northeasterners. With six months left to go, this latest telephone poll -- which last week queried 947 adults including 716 registered voters -- shows that many voters have problems with certain positions Bush has taken, but they just don't seem to like Gore enough to vote for him. Writes Berke and Elder: "The vice president's lagging ratings appear to have more to do with personality than policy. Gore is seen favorably by 34 percent of registered voters and unfavorable by 36 percent. By contrast, Bush is seen as favorably by 40 percent and unfavorably by only 28 percent." According to the poll, Bush is seen as having "strong leadership qualities" by 63% -- compared to Gore's 53%. "The contrast is striking, particularly since Gore had been an elected official since 1976, when he was elected to the House from Tennessee; Bush was not elected governor, his first office, until 1994"." Tony Coelho, Gore's campaign chairman, tells the TIMES that the numbers don't scare him, and that once Bush articulates his positions the numbers will move Gore's way: "You take the issues that are out there today. As we get to the general election, we're going to be forcing a debate... We've made up a lot of points with George Bush. I feel very good about where we are compared to six months ago." drudgereport.com
