The race, in interviews Tuesday through Friday, is not meaningfully different from the 50-47 percent division in yesterday's four-day tracking result. Bush, for example, today is just two-tenths of a point shy of the 50-percent mark he reached yesterday.

So did they round down 49.8% or 49.3% down to 49%?

The rounded 49.3 down. All of these polls follow rounding rules. It sounds like Bush really had 49.5 or so yesterday which rounded up to 50.
