THE VICE PRESIDENT now leads 46 percent to 43 percent among registered
voters in a four-way race with Green Party candidate Ralph Nader (3%) and
Reform candidate Pat Buchanan (1%). Among likely voters, Gores lead is even
smaller, (47% to 45%), with 3 percent for Nader and none for Buchanan.
Bushs bounce comes after a highly successful week of
campaigning-including well-received appearances on Oprah Winfreys talk show
and on Live with Regis. In the NEWSWEEK poll one week ago, Gore led Bush by
12 points among registered voters and 14 points among likely voters. This
weeks NEWSWEEK poll was conducted over three nights (rather than the
customary two) and had a larger sample size (1,000 registered voters rather
than the usual 800). NEWSWEEKs poll is conducted by Princeton Survey
Research Associates and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage
points.
The new NEWSWEEK poll also shows Bush with a 10-point gain from one
week ago among minority voters (25%) and a 13-point gain among voters aged
18-29 (47%). Bush has also cut Gores lead among female voters from 20 points
(55% vs. 35%) to nine points (48% vs. 39%), the poll shows.
Among registered voters, Gore is still seen as the candidate best
able to handle the economy and jobs (48% vs. 38%); social security issues
(46% vs. 36%); education and vouchers (47% vs. 36%); health care generally
(49% vs. 35%); and helping seniors pay for prescription drugs (48% vs. 33%).
Bush is seen as the candidate best able to handle national defense (49% vs.
35%) and taxes (43% vs. 40%).
More registered voters see Bush than Gore as having strong
leadership qualities (63% vs. 60%), the poll shows. Gore had a marginal lead
in this characteristic one week ago (62% vs. 59%) for the first time in a
NEWSWEEK poll.
