Poll: Gore still trails Bush

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Al Gore continues to lose a hypothetical head-to-head presidential match-up against Republican front-runner George W. Bush, but he is now tied with Arizona Sen. John McCain in a two-way race, according to a CNN/USA TODAY/Gallup poll released Wednesday.
Gore's rival for the Democratic nomination, former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley, does even better, beating McCain in a hypothetical match-up and Bradley is closer to Bush than the vice president, although Bush beats both Democrats.

There was only Bill Bradley who withdrew a couple of months before the primary.

Me, too. But I like O'Malley, too, from a speech I heard. So, there's going to be a Primary.
