Bush, Kerry Tied in Daily Zogby Poll, Bush Leads in Post Survey Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry are statistically tied in a Reuters/Zogby tracking poll, while Bush leads by six points in a Washington Post survey. Polls released yesterday by the Associated Press and Marist College show a statistical tie. Bush is supported by 47 percent of 1,213 likely voters surveyed by Reuters/Zogby Oct. 19-21, and Kerry, the four-term Massachusetts senator, is backed by 45 percent. The results are within the margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points. Yesterday's Zogby poll showed Bush up one point. Bush led Kerry 51 percent to 45 percent in the Washington Post tracking poll of 1,260 likely voters Oct. 18-20. The daily Post poll has an error margin of three points. Bush led by 3 points yesterday, a statistical tie. The AP-Ipsos Public Affairs poll Oct. 18-20 showed Kerry led Bush 49 percent to 46 percent, while Bush led Kerry 48 percent to 47 percent in the Oct. 17-18 poll by Poughkeepsie, New York-based Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. Both surveys show a statistical tie. Nine of 13 polls released this week put the candidates in a statistical tie, while four show Bush ahead. The election is Nov. 2. The candidates are statistically even in polls by The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, Harris Interactive, NBC News/Wall Street Journal, CBS News/New York Times, Time magazine and George Washington University. Surveys by Fox News, Gallup and Newsweek show Bush leading. The tracking polls by Reuters/Zogby and the Post are done daily and the results are a rolling average of three days' worth of surveys. The earliest results are dropped when a new day is added. Zogby International is based in Utica, New York. Reuters Group Plc, the world's largest publicly traded provider of financial information, is based in London.

Kerry gives nothing back to lobbyists. I know. I was on his team when we returned the $200,000 check to a CEO who joked about wanting to someday be an ambassador. I actually felt they should have kept it. The guy was just half-joking. That is how strict Kerry is about ethical standards. Lobbyists can give him all they like, but he won't return the favor. Contrast this to Delay-Bush-Cheney, whose regime is practically a clearing house for special favors to regulated industries like energy, pollution, timber, health care, drugs and weapons systems. Kerry also never took PAC and soft money when everyone else was. Everyone but Edwards I should add.
