Voter.com Battleground tracking Poll:

(Voter.com, Oct. 24) -- GOP nominee George W. Bush continues to pick up momentum - not only from previously undecided voters but also from likely voters who had earlier indicated support for Democratic nominee Al Gore, according to the latest Voter.com Battleground tracking poll.

The bipartisan poll, released Tuesday, finds that Bush has opened up an eight-point advantage over Gore - the largest lead for either candidate in the past six weeks of daily tracking.

When 1,000 likely voters were asked for whom they would vote if the election were being held today, 46 percent said they would vote for Bush, 38 percent for Gore, 5 percent for Green Party nominee Ralph Nader, and 1 percent for Reform Party nominee Pat Buchanan. Ten percent of likely voters remain undecided, down from 12 percent a week ago. The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 points.

Exactly.

On another front, Investors Business Daily has gotten into the polling pool. Bush leads 50% to 39%, according to the IBD/TIPP Voice of the Investor Class.

Not surprisingly, he leads with investors, Gore with non-investors.

The only conclusion that I have is that Tenn. is an overwhelmingly Republican state- Gove & Senators. Any thoughts why all major polls see Gore getting momentum and and extremely close race while the voter.com poll still registers Bush witha big lead. Lastly, thanks for this thread- fun to read!
