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.

That only adds up to 96%

Polls never add up to 100%

Where did the other 4% go? Wait...maybe they are the black people from Florida...

This thread is going to spin out of control now

Hey a lot of polls are done by phone...and I'm sure there are tons of democrats living in the projects that don't have working phone lines.

So far it seems like Kerry is trying to win off of Bush's mistakes... that's why I can't vote for him. Its always easy to say you "would have" done somthing different after you saw that it didn't work out. I don't remember many people standing up and bashing Bush for his decisions nearly as bad back when he made them.

because doing so would be called "unpatriotic"

and he did recieve quite a lot of crap over the war in Iraq, and many other issues. Its not necessarily true that he tries to win off of his mistakes, John Kerry has an excellent service record. I usually see it the other way, for example, (i just KNOW i'm gonna recieve violent replys for this but here goes), what has George W. Bush actually accomplished other than America's worst Job deficit, an unneccesary war costing in surplus of 200 billion with many lives tragically lost, and Osama Bin Laden still missing?

And that's why I should vote for John Kerry, right?
