With just 16 days to go until the vote, the race couldn't be tighter.

Polls suggest a dead heat. Even Republican organizers concede the Democratic senator has benefited from his performance in the three presidential debates.

And a Washington Post poll shows Kerry with a significant lead in important states that could decide the outcome of the election. The poll found Kerry held a 53 per cent to 43 per cent lead among likely voters in 13 such states

COLUMBUS, OHIO - John Kerry appealed to African-American voters on Sunday, as he pushed ahead with his campaign to unseat George W. Bush.

* INDEPTH: US Election 2004

Senator John Kerry

Kerry promised the voters, many of whom feel the Republicans are trying to keep them off the voter lists, "We're not going to let this be just a repeat of 2000. We're not going to see a million African-Americans deprived of their votes in America," he said.

4. Yes

Given that even Gallop, who has Bush leading Kerry by an obscenely large margin has Kerry leading in a these swing states which would make the results of the national polls somewhat impossible to be real.

Once a candidate raeches a certain umber of percentage points above a candidate in the national polls, the possiblity that the candidate who is behind can even be close in the electoral college nearly impossible.

It will be interesting to see how this result effects the several electoral college projection polls. They usually update on mondays.

such as NH and Florida, and Ohio.
