Oct. 16 — Al Gore’s credibility rating has crumpled in the last month — but George W. Bush’s has suffered as well, leaving a conflicted electorate divided between them. Bush holds a slight edge in the latest ABCNEWS/Washington Post poll, with support from 48 percent of likely voters compared to 44 percent for Gore. But Gore has stabilized on some issues, still leads on knowledge — and the race remains close. abcnews.go.com

Is this proof that liberals really don't follow politics beyond watching the Opra and Jerry Springer show? Viewer Preferences A more pro-Bush audience has tuned in to each debate. Viewers of the first debate favored Bush by three points; viewers of the second debate favored him by 10; and viewers of the third debate favored him by 13 points. That’s not surprising given the nature of the candidates’ supporters. Among Republicans in the last ABCNEWS/Post poll, 41 percent said they were following the race “very closely,” while among Democrats just 28 percent were following it very closely. That level of attention is what leads more Republicans — and thus more Bush supporters — to tune in, especially to subsequent debates. abcnews.go.com
