Latest Wall Street/MSNBC POLLS: WHILE THERE is growing sentiment for the election to be settled soon, adults are more concerned that the process take its course and believe the dispute poses little risk of becoming a constitutional crisis. When asked whether it would be better to name a victor in Florida now or recount the ballots even if it takes several weeks, 55 percent of those polled said it would be better to wait. Fifty-six percent said the situation will be resolved before it turns into a constitutional crisis, compared with 8 percent who said the situation already is a crisis. The survey is generally good news for Democrats, who have been fighting to continue a recount in Florida despite Republicans’ efforts to cut it short. But it shows some trends that may foreshadow a swing in public opinion if the situation drags on for much longer. Seventy-one percent of those polled said that once the overseas absentee ballots have been counted and added to the results of the machine recount, a winner should be declared. The deadline for counting absentee ballots is Friday. Support for Gore and Bush in general was evenly divided. Forty-seven percent said they approved of the way Gore has conducted his campaign, while 47 percent approved of Bush’s campaign. Thirty-six percent said Bush should be declared the winner now. Nineteen percent said Gore is the winner, but 39 percent said it was too soon to say. The poll was conducted Monday with a sampling of 814 adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
