US President George W. Bush has outpolled Democratic challenger John Kerry
by five points among likely Florida voters according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup
poll released Monday, while other polls indicated a tighter race.
In the CNN poll, Bush had 51 percent and Kerry 46 percent among likely voters
interviewed, China Radio International reported Tuesday.
The result was similar among registered voters: 51 percent for Bush and 43
percent for Kerry. Independent candidate Ralph Nader drew the support of 1
percent of respondents in both categories.
The poll interviewed 909 registered Florida voters Thursday through Sunday.
Of those, 768 indicated they were likely to vote in the presidential election.
The margin of error in both categories was plus or minus 4 percentage points.
