Bush With Six Point Lead

Newsweek:

Oct. 30 – After months of the tightest presidential election contest in recent memory, a new NEWSWEEK poll suggests momentum may be moving toward President George W. Bush. As the bitter campaign enters its final days, against the eerie backdrop of a surprise appearance by Osama Bin Laden, Bush’s lead is still within the poll’s margin of error, but larger than last week. If the election were held today, 50 percent of likely voters would cast ballots for Bush and 44 percent for the Democrat, Sen. John Kerry. (Ralph Nader would receive 1 percent.) That compares to a Bush lead last week among likely voters of 48 percent to Kerry’s 46 percent.

The Washington Post poll has Bush with a three point lead.
Hard to trust any polls at this point in the game what with there being so many newly-registered voters and all and the fact that the pollsters aren’t getting a lot of cooperation from voters, but its still nice to see Bush with a lead.
