Florida Poll: Race in Florida too close to call (Bush 48%, Kerry 46%)

[TheStateChief]

ORLANDO, Fla. - (KRT) - President Bush and Sen. John Kerry remain deadlocked in Florida, the biggest battleground of the 2004 election, as the Democratic Party prepares to anoint Kerry as its presidential candidate next week.

A survey of likely Florida voters for the Orlando Sentinel and WESH NewsChannel 2 shows Bush favored among 48 percent compared to Kerry's 46 percent. Independent candidate Ralph Nader drew 2 percent support.

In a poll with a possible 4 percentage-point margin of error, the Bush-Kerry match-up is a virtual tie.

A key measure of how sharply divided this critical state is: The latest survey, conducted Monday-Wednesday by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research, shows just 4 percent undecided.

Public confidence in Bush's resolve for the war against terrorism and support for the president's stance on "moral and family issues" are bolstering his re-election chances in a state where voters have grown increasingly critical of the president's handling of the war in Iraq and divided over the economy at home.
