Bush Keeps Lead in Ohio as Gore Benefits Elsewhere, Paper Says By John Beresford-Peirse Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Texas Governor George W. Bush has kept his lead over rival presidential candidate Vice President Al Gore in Ohio, while Pennsylvania and other ``swing states'' have moved towards Gore, the New York Times interactive edition reported, citing voter surveys. Bush has held the lead in Ohio polls conducted by various organizations since May, the newspaper said. One recent poll, conducted before Labor Day by the Columbus Dispatch, saw Bush with a lead of 6 percentage points, 49 percent to 43 percent, with a margin of error of 2 percent. The fact that Ohio, perceived as a political microcosm since the Civil War, hasn't followed other states in moving towards Gore is ``odd,'' the newspaper said. The last time it went against the majority was 1960, when John F. Kennedy lost Ohio. No Republican has ever been elected president without winning Ohio, the New York Times said. (NYT 9/18)
