(Voter.com, Nov. 4) – While the electoral vote remains too close to call, GOP nominee George W. Bush has emerged as the clear front-runner to pick up the greatest number of popular votes on November 7, according to the latest Voter.com Battleground daily tracking poll. Bush has opened up a nine-point advantage over Al Gore in the popular vote, the largest lead recorded by either candidate in the seven weeks of daily Battleground polling. When likely voters were asked for whom they would vote if the election were being held today, 46 percent said they would vote for Bush, 37 percent for Gore, 5 percent for Green Party nominee Ralph Nader, and 1 percent for Reform Party nominee Pat Buchanan. Eleven percent of likely voters remain undecided. The poll is based on 1,000 phone responses collected on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. Its margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 points. Other important findings in the latest poll: Gore’s support among women has dipped dramatically during the past week. Gore now trails Bush by three points among women (43 percent vs. 40 percent). A week ago, he led Bush by six points (45 percent vs. 39 percent). Among white women, Gore now trails Bush by 13 points. A week ago, he trailed by only four points. Bush has maintained his edge among male likely voters. He continues to hold onto a decisive 14-point lead. Bush’s favorability ratings continue to hover well above Gore’s. Fifty-eight percent of likely voters say they have a “favorable” impression of George Bush, while 50 percent say the same of Gore. In the extremely tight race to pick up seats in the U.S. Congress, the Republicans have gained a slight advantage over the Democrats. Forty-two percent of respondents said they would vote for the Republican congressional candidate in their district, and 41 percent said they’d support the Democratic candidate. voter.com
