Also from Newsweek: Good news for Gore and Dem Congress: "While last week Bush led among men, 49 percent to 39 percent, and Gore led among women, 48 percent to 39 percent, the differences this week are much smaller. In fact, Bush’s lead among men has been eliminated (42-42) and Gore’s edge among women is statistically insignificant (47-43). While the race for the White House remains volatile, the race for Capitol Hill seems to be edging in the Democrats’ favor. Among registered voters, Democratic congressional candidates hold a 51 percent to 39 percent lead over Republicans. That’s up from a 48-to-42 split last week. Likely voters favor Democratic candidates by a narrower, 47-to-43 margin. The Newsweek poll was conducted Oct. 18 through Oct. 20 by Princeton Survey Research Associates. Results are based on telephone interviews with 1,007 registered voters. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent for registered voters, plus or minus 4 percent for likely voters."

I think you're leaving out the smell test once folks get into the ballot box. I think, deep down, when it comes to the moment of casting the ballot, voters are not gonna wanna the son of a lip-reader in the presidency. Also, Gore is less likely to do harm to America's domestic and international policy and voters will sense this in the booth. I just don't think they'll risk switching into an unproven candidate and an unproven candidate's policies which the unproven candidate, himself, has difficulty describing, advocating and defending. Fact is Bush is relying on typical Republican smear, that of painting Gore as a "liar." Ultimately, it won't work.
