MSNBC/Zogby: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican George W. Bush reclaimed a one-point lead over Democrat Al Gore in Friday's Reuters/MSNBC daily tracking poll, as the U.S. presidential race remained too close to call. The survey of 1,206 likely voters in the Nov. 7 election, conducted Oct. 24-27 by pollster John Zogby, found the Texas governor with 44 percent and the vice president with 43 percent. That represented a two-point decline for Gore and a one-point advance for Bush over the past 24 hours. Eleven days remain until the Nov. 7 election. Green Party nominee Ralph Nader polled 5 percent; Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan stayed at 1 percent and the rest remained undecided. Gore had spent three days in the lead before Friday's survey. The race remained well within the statistical margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points. A candidate would have to be more than six points in the lead to be outside that zone of uncertainty -- something neither man has achieved since the poll began on Sept. 29. ``Bush had a solid day and has now reclaimed his lead over Gore among men and among parents with children at home,'' said Zogby. ``Gore has been diligent lately in his attacks against Nader. But with Nader still receiving 13 percent from independents, 13 percent from progressives and 8 percent from 18-24 year-olds, it appears these attacks, at least in their initial phase, perhaps are not working.'' dailynews.yahoo.com
