WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Bush leads Democratic rival John Kerry by two points heading into the final five days of a tight race for the White House, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Thursday.
Bush led Kerry 48-46 percent in the latest three-day national tracking poll, gaining one point on the Massachusetts senator in a day. Bush led Kerry 48-47 percent on Wednesday.
Bush’s lead is within the poll’s margin of error, leaving the White House rivals in a statistical dead heat entering the final dash to Tuesday’s election.
