Dear narses,

I googled, and this poll had Bush 50% and Gore 45% in the closing days of the 2000 election. These folks don't have the most sterling reputation for accuracy. I will note that they did much better in 1996.

FOX said this morning they will release new Opinion Dynamics poll at 2 pm today... any guesses?

While we have no proof, the 2000 final battleground poll was probably taken before the DUI story broke on the final Friday before the election. Also, the MSM calling the state early for Gore probably dissuaded people from voting in the panhandle. These folks are strong for Bush. One more thing. Bush made a mistake by not campaigning through the final weekend. He became overconfident. Gore spent time in Florida over the final two or three days, which certainly helped to rally his base.
