Friday, Sep. 03, 2004 - New York: For the first time since the Presidential race became a two person contest last spring, there is a clear leader, the latest TIME poll shows. If the 2004 election for President were held today, 52% of likely voters surveyed would vote for President George W. Bush, 41% would vote for Democratic nominee John Kerry, and 3% would vote for Ralph Nader, according to a new TIME poll conducted from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. Poll results are available on TIME.com and will appear in the upcoming issue of TIME magazine, on newsstands Monday, Sept. 6.
This is extremely good news. In a race that has been, to this point, almost dead even Bush has opened a whopping double digit lead. Amazing.
This is, of course, just one poll. And poll's aren't always accurate. And there's still about 2 months left in this campaign.
But still, an 11 point lead. I'm shocked.
Update:
Bush is better looking too.
