LA Times: Men's Backing Helps Power Bush Past Gore
Survey shows the GOP nominee is ahead, 48% to 42%. Women prefer the vice
president by 7 points, but the Texas governor has a 22-point lead among males.

advantage--enough to provide the Texas governor a 48%-42% overall lead among likely
voters, the poll found.
