Bush Leads Kerry Among Registered Voters in Florida, Poll Shows
Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. President George W. Bush leads Democratic challenger John Kerry 49 percent to 41 percent among registered voters in Florida, a Quinnipiac University poll found. Independent candidate Ralph Nader drew 5 percent.

The survey of 819 registered voters was conducted from Sept. 18 to Sept. 21 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. The findings reverse Kerry's lead of 47 percent to 41 percent in an Aug. 12 Quinnipiac poll.

Seventy-eight percent of Florida voters approved of the way Bush responded to recent hurricanes, the poll showed. <snip>
A review of state-by-state polls and historical voting data by Bloomberg News shows Bush ahead in 20 states, including Texas and Alabama, with 183 electoral votes. Kerry, a four-term U.S. senator from Massachusetts leads in 12 states, including New York and Maryland, with 160 electoral votes. In 16 states that have 195 electoral votes, including Pennsylvania and Minnesota, results of the most recent polls are within the margin of error. <snip>

1. Sounds like a push poll to me...
Preceding questions like "Bush's performance in the aftermath of hurricanes" and then asking approval or voting intentions amounts to leading the respondent to a predetermined answer.
