Bush gaining strength after the debates: Tracking poll: Bush may be expanding lead over Gore By CNN Polling Director Keating Holland WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Texas Gov. George W. Bush may be expanding his narrow lead over Vice President Al Gore in the hard-fought presidential race, according to Friday's CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll. Friday's results indicate Bush garnering 50 percent and Gore drawing 40 percent of likely voters' support. However, the survey of 702 likely voters was conducted October 17-19, meaning a third of the interviews were completed before the final presidential debate in St. Louis, Missouri, last Tuesday. The results are based on interviews conducted Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with nearly all of the Tuesday night interviews conducted before the debate concluded. So, while it is too early to tell the full effect of Tuesday night's face-to-face encounter, the poll indicates that Bush has gained some strength in the past few days. cnn.com Zogby agrees: But according to Zogby, Bush won the one-day voter samples for all three post-debate days included in the three-day survey: 48-45 percent, 45-43 and 45-42. Following the first two debates, Bush came from six percentage points behind and moved narrowly into the lead. But Gore has failed to get that kind of bounce. dailynews.yahoo.com
