WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A CNN/Time poll, conducted Wednesday and Thursday, shows Texas Governor George W. Bush with a statistically insignificant 47 percent to 45 percent margin over Vice President Al Gore. The survey paints the portrait of a presidential race that is a virtual tie, just as the race had been for most of September. The poll of 1,244 adult Americans, including 636 likely voters, was conducted October 4-5, 2000, after Tuesday's presidential debate in Boston. What has happened to erase Gore's advantage in interviews conducted just before the debate? It looks Gore may have won Tuesday night's face-off with George W. Bush on debating points -- more in command of the facts and a better debater. But voters have doubts about Gore as a leader -- his trustworthiness and his willingness to say anything just to win -- qualities which have dominated post-debate coverage of the presidential campaign. Those charges appear to have stuck to Gore -- although it is useful to bear in mind that the public had similar views of Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996. cnn.com
