Bush And Kerry Running Neck And Neck In Missouri

Just about every poll dealing with the race for the White House indicates President Bush and Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry and running neck and neck. And, a new poll conducted this week by Research 2000 for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and KMOV-TV in St. Louis shows Bush and Kerry are in a very tight race in Missouri. The survey, conducted Tuesday through Thursday, finds Kerry with 48-percent support, compared to 45-percent backing for Bush. If independent Ralph Nader is thrown into the mix Kerry picks up the backing of 47-percent of those surveyed, compared to 45-percent for Bush and 2-percent for Nader. Six percent of those polled were undecided.
