Historically, these numbers are astonishingly high because Gore is pulling less than 90% of the black vote and Bush already has 1/3 of the Hispanic vote -- which will probably increase! Among minority groups, Gore has the support of 77 percent of blacks, while Hispanics give Gore 60 percent and Bush 33 percent.

Gore Pulls Ahead of Bush in Latest Poll WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore (news - web sites) received a boost from this week's party convention, with a Newsweek magazine poll of likely voters released on Saturday putting him ahead of Republican rival George W. Bush (news - web sites) for the first time. The latest poll of 806 registered voters conducted before and after his speech on Thursday night in Los Angeles had 48 percent favoring Gore and 42 percent for Bush. Green Party nominee Ralph Nader (news - web sites) took 3 percent and Reform Party leader Pat Buchanan (news - web sites) 1 percent. In a two-way race between the vice president and the Texas governor, Gore led with 52 percent, compared with 44 percent for Bush, according to the survey conducted on Thursday and Friday night. The survey's margin of error is 4 percent. Up until the Democratic convention, Gore had been trailing Bush in the polls and rarely has drawn more than 45 percent in surveys. Experts are predicting a close election race right up until Nov. 7. Among likely women voters, 50 percent said they would elect Gore if the presidential election were to be held now, versus 39 percent for Bush. Gore received 46 percent from male voters, while 44 percent said they would choose Bush, the poll showed. On the economy and jobs, 52 percent said they think Gore would do a better job, compared with 35 percent for Bush. Gore also enjoyed comfortable leads on a wide range of issues from abortion to taxes to health care. Fifty-one percent said Gore would better handle social security than Bush, who received the support of 35 percent.
