Friday August 27, 2004--The latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry are tied once again with each man attracting 46% of the vote. The Tracking Poll is updated daily by noon Eastern.

The candidates have been tied for five of the last seven days. During that time, each candidate has been up by a single point for a single day. This is the first time since the Democratic Convention that Kerry has slipped to 46% on consecutive days.

The closeness of the race is highlighted by the fact that the number of Toss-Up states has been growing in the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College projection.

Our latest tally shows Kerry with 203 Electoral Votes, Bush with 183, and 152 in the Toss-Up column. The magic number needed to reach the White House is 270 Electoral Votes. These projections include our latest publicly released polling in Florida, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada along with results for 25 states provided to Premium Members last week

Thats the latest poll so far. The others like Gallop and NBC/WSJ were a few days ago, had Bush getting a bit ahead of Kerry.

Last night I went though a bunch of Newspaper Web sites, and pretty much most of the editorials have the swing voters breaking for Kerry at the very end (usually the swing voters remaining over the last two to three weeks break against the incumbent, to the tune of about 75 to 85 percent of them). Most of the articles I have read indicate that just being a few point ahead of Kerry is a VERY bad place for Bush to be in, because Bush has much to prove and justify iover the last 4 years, while Kerry doesnt have to be more than average in order to atract anyone who has decided Bush has done a piss poor job.
