Rasmussen 3-day National tracking poll has Bush leading by 2.4% at Bush 48.5% to Kerry 46.1%. This is a gain of 1.6% from yesterday for Kerry. However, a tightening of the state polling has left a substantial lead for Bush of 213-169 due to the slim leads held by Kerry in Michigan and New Jersey, moving them to "Toss-Up" status.
http://www.rasmussenreports.comThe news on the 7 day, rolling average for the daily 5 key battleground states is also mixed and is as follows:
Florida, Bush 50%-47% (This represents the largest lead by either candidate in two weeks, and is a 4 point Bush gain from yesterday)
Michigan, Tie 46% (This is a Bush gain of 1 point from yesterday, and the first time Kerry has not led ever).
Minnesota, Kerry 48%-46% (This is a 1 point Kerry gain, and is his largest lead here since 9/5)
Ohio, Tie 48% (This is the first time Bush has not led in Ohio in weeks, and is a 1 point Kerry gain from yesterday).
Pennsylvania, Kerry 48%-46% (This represents the fourth day in a row that Kerry has led here, but is still a 2 point Bush gain from yesterday).
Go John, Let's do it tonight, and carry this debate. The world is depending on you. May all that is good be on your side, and may God be with you.
