From POA: October 23, 2000 Presidential Tracking Poll On Monday morning, with just two weeks left in Campaign 2000, the Portrait Of America Presidential Tracking Poll finds Texas Governor George W. Bush leading Vice President Al Gore by 47% to 41%. The telephone survey of 3,000 likely voters was conducted on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, October 19, 21, and 22. The survey’s margin of sampling error is +/- 1.8 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. The question now is whether Al Gore can find a way to make one last surge to make the race competitive on Election Day. Polling over the next few days should give us the answer. For the Vice President to have a chance, he'll have to start knocking down Governor Bush's lead before this week is out. Much analysis has gone into the Electoral College aspect of the race in recent weeks. Like the national numbers, the states have been swinging in Bush's direction. Most of this examination misses the point. If either candidate wins by more than a point or two, he won't have any trouble with the Electoral College.
