The latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows President George W. Bush with 49% of the vote and Senator John Kerry with 46%. The Tracking Poll is updated daily by noon Eastern.

When "leaners" are included, the President leads 50% to 47%. Leaners are those who initially do not express a preference for Bush or Kerry. We ask them a follow-up question to determine which way they are leaning at the moment.

Leaners or undecideds breaking 50/50 Bush/Kerry. So much for the undecideds breaking 2-1 for the challenger that some hold as gospel.

Leaners are either people that don't express a preference so they can avoid arguments at work with all that are not leaners or they are illiterates who don't know the names of the candidates of the main parties.
