Will he get to 52%?
"Will he get to 52%?"
Probably not. The reason is that a large share of the remaining votes are in CA. As a life-long CA resident, I've been paying special attention to the vote count in the Golden State. So far, CA has counted 1,065,000 votes since election night. Pres. Bush has received 517,000 votes or 48.54% which is significantly better than his election night % of 44.5. However, Kerry is still taking the majority which means Pres. Bush's national % is continuing to drop slightly.
Unfortunately, no. Bush has 50.96% now, and his lead has been shrinking ever so slightly. He had a lead last week of over 3.5 million and was a bit over 51% then, but now it's down to a lead of just north of 3.4 million. This caused him to slip under 51%.
