Oct. 9 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush failed to gain a victory in the second presidential debate to stem the momentum built by John Kerry, a four-term Massachusetts senator, since their first match-up last week.
Two polls gave Kerry an edge in the 90-minute contest at Washington University in St. Louis. An ABC News survey of registered voters showed 44 percent considered Kerry the winner and 41 percent picked Bush. In a CNN poll, 47 percent said Kerry won and 45 percent favored Bush. Both are within the margin of error.

Bush and Kerry each have the support of 45 percent of 886 likely voters surveyed Oct. 6-7 by Time magazine, the most recent of the polls. Independent candidate Ralph Nader won the backing of 3 percent of respondents. The margin of error was plus or minus 4 percentage points. In a Time poll before the first presidential debate, Bush led by 6 points.
