WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. John Kerry pulled into a statistical dead heat with President Bush in a seesawing battle for the White House, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released Monday.
The latest three-day tracking poll showed Kerry and Bush deadlocked at 45 percent apiece barely two weeks before the Nov. 2 election. The president had a 46-44 percent lead over the Massachusetts senator the previous day, and a four-point lead the day before that.

More statistical noise. Weekend style.
Does anyone possibly not think that Zogby and the other polls do not know who to call to make it look like it is tied, or Kerry winning, or Bush?
Sounds like Kerry had a fluky good day on Sat, so it probably will be good for Kerry for 1 more day.
I'm shocked that the race is now tied coming from zogby.. SHOCKED! Someone called it last night.
exactly..weekend poll.
John and his brother, James Zogby, look at this race through their Arab, anti-Israel eyes.
They are in the tank for Kerry, and every Zogby poll reflects just that.
Reuters...Reuters...hmmmm,is that the same organization that labels terrorists as "insurgents" because to call terrorists terrorists would hurt their (or somebody's) feelings? I am sure I believe a Reuters poll because of their straight down the middle approach to life...right.
Someone in here posted a thread saying that Zogby would be doing this, along with what his numbers would be up until the election. This fits that scenario perfectly.
Zogby will show a continuous rise in Kerry's numbers up to election day.
When you read the names Zogby and Reuters, does "fair and balanced" come to mind? Yeah, right.
I don't believe in conspiracies, but it's almost as if the Dems sensed the election slipping away unless they did something to stop Bush's poll surge, so they put in a call to ol' reliable Zogs and he "produces" a "tie." Convenient, no? So now, everyone won't be talking about the FIVE polls that have Bush leading and instead get to talk about the ONE poll that shows a "Kerry surge." Disgusting.
Actually, we're doing well if they call them something as negative as "insurgents". Reuters has been known to call them "freedom fighters".
Zogby has no credibility. He is proud of his 2000 record but in 2002 he was horrible, calling half the races the wrong way. Now, Zogby and Reuters are in the tank for Kerry. Expect "neck and neck" in Zogby even if the other polls show Bush momentum
Where's the other 10%? There are no more "undecided"! There maybe 1-2% not saying who they're voting for but there is no way that there should be a two point swing in a single poll unless the fix is on.
