Thanks. I'd take out Portrait of American though as we find out it's run by a GOP conservative. Otherwise looks like it's too close to call. Maybe Bush by a nose but that changes daily. This Rand Report on Bush education record scam is bound to change a few minds. Release of Nixon tapes also interesting. Stay tuned for more October surprises. Will Clinton strike terrorist base? Will Nader deal and back off? Will Larry Flynt provide evidence on the Bush abortion? What else might happen? Anything could and probably will.

Read it and weep! USATODAY/CNN/Gallup poll for 10/26/00 Thursday's results: Texas Gov. George W. Bush now holds a seven percentage point lead over Vice President Al Gore, 49% to 42%. A day earlier, Bush led Gore 48% to 43%. According to USATODAY/CNN/Gallup poll analysts, Bush's lead is the result of his ability to neutralize Gore on issues the vice president needs to win, namely education, Social Security, Medicare and the economy. Bush also wins the battle of personality. Voters have indicated they think Bush is more honest and sincere than Gore and that he would be a stronger and more decisive leader. Gore faces a problem that is new to Democratic candidates, but well known to Republican candidates: He is seen by more people as the one who is attacking unfairly. In answering the question, "Have Al Gore and the Democrats gone too far in criticizing George W. Bush?", 40% of likely voters now say Yes, up from 30% earlier this year. When the same question was asked regarding Bush's criticism of Gore, the number of likely voters who answered Yes remained steady at 34%. ###
