WASHINGTON (CNN) - GOP presidential candidate Gov. George W. Bush has regained his lead over rival Democratic candidate, Vice President Al Gore, according to Saturday's CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll.

A second poll taken by CNN and Time Magazine after the candidates' debate on Wednesday suggests that Gore may have missed a chance in that face-off to gain any ground on his rival.

The CNN/Time poll shows Bush with a 48 percent to 43 percent edge over Gore, and the CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll indicates that Bush leads Gore by 48 percent to 44 percent.

Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader and Reform Party candidate Patrick Buchanan both continued to founder in the single digits.

1. A poll we know now was a lie

We know now it was a lie.

[Gman]

8. I don't know that it was a lie

as all the polls at that point in time, including Zogby, were showing Bush pulling away. Then, a couple of weeks later the DWI story broke. Zogby was the only poll that picked up the shift and hence ended up being the only poll that showed Gore winning.

4. Since when did a 4-5 point lead constitute "pulling away"?

[RafterMan]

6. They've since corrected that terminology

Now they call a 4-5 point Kerry lead "a tie".

5. they were Wrong then, they are Wrong now

7. always good to see the accuracy of the past ...the media does NOT bring up

[Cocoa]

9. did the polls tighten after this

or did the polls show Bush holding this lead into the election...

Was this after all three debates?

10. What's the point of this post...

That was before everyone knew how big of a shitwad Bush was and is.

[wishlist]

11. Didn't Gallup give Bush a double digit lead over Gore a week before

I thought the Gallup poll gave Bush a substantial lead in the double digits over Gore just one week before the election.

14. To be careful of Polls

And of people who say "everyone knew."

12. I remember saying that day

that it was impossible and untrue. And I was right.

I also recall saying that the exit polling was correct in FL - that they were stealing the election and what the hell were the broadcast nets doing by saying Whoops!, we were wrong. NO THEY WERE NOT!

All that mea culpa over the exit polling...WTF. IT was correct - those people voted, they thought, for Gore.

...and you know what? I';ll 'get over it' after the RW 'gets over' legalized abortion.
