Reuters Poll: Kerry Trims Bush Lead to 2 Points Sun Oct 17, 2004 07:11 AM ET By Peter Cooney WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic challenger John Kerry cut President Bush's lead to 2 points with just over two weeks to go before the Nov. 2 election, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released Sunday. Bush led Kerry by 46 percent to 44 percent in the latest three-day tracking poll of the closely contested race for the White House. The president led the Massachusetts senator by 48 percent to 44 percent the previous day. "The third debate is now registering among voters and Kerry had a good day," pollster John Zogby said. The new tracking poll found Kerry regained a good lead among 18- to 29-year-old voters and consolidated his advantage among Hispanics. Bush and Kerry were tied among Roman Catholics, a group Kerry, himself a Catholic, must win to capture the White House, Zogby said. Among the 7 percent of voters still undecided, Bush had a 34 percent positive job rating, versus a 66 percent negative rating. Only 18 percent of undecided respondents said the president deserved re-election, while 39 percent said it was time for someone new. In the latter group, 99 percent said they were likely to vote. Bush and Kerry have intensified their war of words as they campaign in crucial swing states following their third and final presidential debate Wednesday. Polls gave the edge to Kerry in all the debates, which helped narrow a lead Bush built in September after the Republican National Convention. The candidates have accused each other of being out of touch with reality on domestic issues like the economy and health care and on Iraq and the war on terror.
