October 24, 2000 George W. Bush leading Vice President Al Gore by 47% to 41%... Presidential Tracking Poll portraitofamerica.com On Tuesday 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 Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, October 21, 22, and 23. 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. For those of you who enjoy checking the daily tracking numbers this election season, Rasmussen Research will have a new service to help you stay informed after the election. For the first time in history, the new President will have his approval ratings measured every day. Additionally, we'll keep polling on other aspects of the political environment and issues as they arise. In another arena, Rasmussen Research has been collecting daily information on the attitudes of investors, consumers, and workers about the economy and the financial markets. We'll begin posting this data on a daily basis as well once the elections are behind us. Rasmussen Research has interviewed at least 750 likely voters every night since March 20 in the Presidential Tracking Poll. Recently, we increased our sample to 1,000 Likely Voters per night.
