Bush Gains Steam ABCNEWS Tracking Poll: Strong GOP Base Boosting Bush George W. Bush has regained a slight advantage over Al Gore, according to a new ABCNEWS daily tracking poll. (ABCNEWS.com) Analysis By Gary Langer Oct. 18 — George W. Bush starts the final three weeks of the 2000 presidential campaign with a narrow but real lead, lifted by overwhelming support among conservatives and broad backing in his GOP base. But independents — the key swing voters — are evenly split. Forty-eight percent of likely voters support Bush while 43 percent favor Gore in this poll, which was conducted almost entirely before Tuesday night’s final debate. This is the first of daily ABCNEWS tracking polls that will continue up to Election Day. Bush’s five-point lead is his best since Aug. 10, after the Republican convention, and it comes in part because Gore’s support has slipped by five points since Oct. 1. The main reason: Changeability among women, whose support for Gore is down from an 18-point margin early last month to two points now. Men have been more constant for Bush.
