WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush holds a 49-to-43 percent edge over Democratic rival Al Gore in the latest CNN/Time poll, conducted Wednesday and Thursday.
The poll of 2,060 adult Americans, including 1,076 likely voters, has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points and is thus in essential agreement with a CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll also released Friday. That poll gives Bush a 52 percent-39 percent edge over Gore. More important, both polls show the same snapshot of the current state of the presidential campaign: a solid advantage for Bush.
ABC News and The Washington Post both have daily tracking polls today putting the race at 48 percent for Bush and 45 percent for Gore. The latest Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby tracking poll has the contest at 45 percent for Gore and 43 percent for Bush.
Tell you what, doe eyes -- why not just wait and remind us of all this on the day after the election?
Anyways, meanwhile at Kerry headquarters it's full steam ahead.

***I'll "see" your CNN and raise you ONE Chris Lehane:
W A S H I N G T O N, Nov. 3 Even if George W. Bush is elected president, he may need special permission to get into Canada because of his arrest for drunken driving.
The Republican candidate for president acknowledged for the first time on Thursday that he was arrested for driving under the influence on Labor Day weekend in 1976, near his family home in Kennebunkport, Maine.
It helps to have ALL the information when you're debating.
