Polls | REUTERS Poll: Kerry 46%-Bush 45%

More polling data, this time from Reuters/Zogby. It’s important to note that this poll wrapped BEFORE last night’s debate. Details:

  • Kerry leads Bush by 46-45 percent
  • Kerry seems to be solidifying his base: He earned support from 83 percent of Democrats, 88 percent of blacks, 79 percent of Jews and 65 percent of single voters. Kerry led by a 2-to-1 margin in union households.
  • Bush, too, is solid in his base: He had support of 87 percent of Republicans, 51 percent of investors and 53 percent of married voters
  • The candidates were locked in dead heat among Catholics and households with armed forces members

The national poll of 1,216 likely voters was taken Wednesday through Friday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
