Presidential Polls
By The Associated Press,
The latest national and state polls on the presidential race. Listed underneath
each poll are the dates it was taken, number of likely voters (LV), margin of
error (MoE) and identity of the pollsters. When results don't total 100
percent, the remainder either didn't know, declined to answer or backed
another candidate.
Suppose the election for president were being held today and you had to choose between Al Gore (news -
web sites) and Joseph Lieberman (news - web sites), the Democrats; George W. Bush (news - web sites) and
Dick Cheney (news - web sites), the Republicans; Ralph Nader (news - web sites) and Winona LaDuke, the
Green Party candidates, and Pat Buchanan (news - web sites) and Ezola Foster, the Reform Party candidates.
For whom would you vote?
