Pottsie, Gore is laughing at you. The country is giving up on Whopper Al. HE laughs at you because you are still pulling his square wheeled wagon. Gore Brushes Off Declining Polls November 28, 2000 5:56 pm EST By Thomas Ferraro WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Al Gore on Tuesday brushed off polls that show most Americans believe he should concede defeat to Republican George W. Bush, certified as the winner in the contested presidential vote in Florida. "I am quite sure the polls don't matter in this because it is a legal question," the vice president said outside his official residence as his lawyers prepared to fight it out in court in Florida. Gore noted he had proved polls wrong on Nov. 7 when he narrowly won the presidential vote nationally against the favored Texas governor. Gore and Bush are now engaged in a do-or-die battle in the courts for Florida and its critical 25 electoral votes, which would allow either man to get the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the White House. Polls taken since Florida certified Bush as the winner in the state on Sunday have shown the public losing patience with Gore's courtroom challenges. A ABC/Washington Post poll conducted after the Florida decision found 60 percent of 607 adults surveyed said they thought Gore should concede, while 35 percent said they supported his further legal challenges. A CNN/USA TODAY/Gallup poll showed that 56 percent of 881 adults surveyed on Sunday and on Monday said they believed Gore should halt his fight, compared to 38 percent who wanted him to keep going. According to the poll, 42 percent approved of Gore's handling of the vote recount battle in Florida, down from 48 percent a week ago and 52 percent two weeks ago. Congressional Democratic leaders have said the vice president maintains strong support among the party faithful in his call for a full accounting of the vote in Florida. Gore contends that more than 10,000 votes in Florida were inadequately counted by machine, and then never counted by hand. Yet at least one Democratic lawmaker in Congress has broken ranks, saying Gore should call it quits to help heal a torn nation. "I think Gore won, but I think they are going to have to give it to Bush," Rep. Julia Carson of Indianapolis told the Indianapolis Star on Tuesday. "I still support Gore. No one should misinterpret that," Carson said. "But it is distressing watching and listening to citizens fight over the contested election." A Carson spokesman confirmed the congresswoman's remarks but said she was unavailable for further comment.
