Bad news for Bush::::::Gore's Support Increases in Last Poll Before Debate Leads by 49% to 41% in pre-debate polling conducted Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights by David W. Moore GALLUP NEWS SERVICE PRINCETON, NJ -- In the last CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll before the presidential debate Tuesday evening, Vice President Al Gore moved to an eight-point lead over his opponent Governor George W. Bush, with 49% of likely voters preferring Gore and 41% Bush. The poll was conducted Sunday through Tuesday. This included the evening of the debate, but most of those polled on Tuesday were interviewed before the debate began, with very few interviewed after it had ended. Combined with the two previous days of polling, the results mostly reflect the views of likely voters before any impact of the debate could be measured. For the previous 10 days, the presidential race fluctuated within a narrow range of a Bush three-point lead to a Gore three-point lead, indicating a dead heat. But two days before the debate, as the news media shifted its focus from the Olympics to the presidential race and the upcoming encounter between the two major candidates, Gore’s support began to edge upward. Whether the debate performances of Bush and Gore will affect these changes will not be known for sure until Saturday, when the results of the three-day tracking poll conducted after the end of the debate are announced.
