The latest Fox News Electoral Vote Count poll puts Texas Gov. George W. Bush in the lead over Vice President Al Gore. Bush now holds a 235 to 228 advantage over Gore, according to the poll, with 75 votes still considered "toss-ups." That represents a reversal from last week's poll, which showed Gore with a slim lead. This week's poll has Bush with 205 "safe" electoral votes and 30 "leaning" his way. Gore polls 92 safe and 136 leaning. The poll gives safe votes to a candidate who is comfortably ahead in state polling. Leaning votes are counted for states where a candidate's lead is slimmer. Gore had 250 electoral votes last week that were considered safe or leaning to him, while Bush had 235. There were 53 toss-up electoral votes. The latest numbers also show Bush shoring up his base, with North Carolina, Ohio, and Kentucky now being considered safe for the Republican candidate. Meanwhile, Gore's vote base has eroded, according to the poll. California, once considered a safe state for Gore, has now become a lean for Gore. And Washington, Iowa, and New Hampshire are now considered up for grabs after leaning towards Gore last week. foxnews.com
