You forgot to include the article that went with the graph. It says: Bush Edges Gore Slightly in Latest Poll By Carol Giacomo WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican George W. Bush (news - web sites) has shown some initial gain from the third presidential debate and edged up by one point over Democrat Al Gore (news - web sites), according to the Reuters/MSNBC daily tracking poll released on Thursday. Nineteen days before the election, the race now stands at 44 percent for the Texas governor and 43 percent for the vice president in the poll of 1,207 likely voters conducted on Monday through Wednesday by pollster John Zogby. The results remain well within the margin of error of plus or minus three points and Zogby called it a ``dead heat.'' Green Party candidate Ralph Nader (news - web sites) polled 5 percent, Reform Party hopeful Pat Buchanan (news - web sites) scored 1 percent, and 7 percent of voters remained undecided. Polling included one day after the debate in St. Louis, where most analysts thought Gore put in a strong performance. Following the first two debates, Bush came from six percentage points behind and moved narrowly into the lead. Bush Wins Post-Debate Sample Zogby said, however, that in his poll, Bush won the one-day sample taken after the St. Louis debate, 48 percent to 45 percent. In general, ``on the strength of Bush's gain among parents and married voters, he has narrowed the gender gap dramatically,'' Zogby said. dailynews.yahoo.com

We're talking polls here too!? portraitofamerica.com , the most accurate poll during the primaries, has Bush with a meaningful lead in Iowa, Washington, Oregon, and Wisconsin. Either that has to change, or Portrait is wrong, or Gore is in trouble, or Gore has to win about 80% of the states Portrait says are "toss-ups". Nader is a big problem for Gore in Oregon and Washington. Iowa and Wisconsin shifted toward Bush after the second debate, according to Portrait. Kevin
