ANALYSIS- By Alan Elsner, Political Correspondent
DANVILLE, Ky. (Reuters) - It was heralded as a potential turning point in the 2000 U.S. presidential race, but after the first debate between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush, nothing appears to have changed.
Before Tuesday's debate in Boston, the vice president led Bush, the governor of Texas, in a Reuters/MSNBC tracking poll by 46 percent to 40 percent. Three days after that much-hyped event, Gore led by 46 to 41 percent -- a statistically insignificant difference.
Bush behind by 6% on October 6th.... Hmmmm!
Looks like the only poll that counts is the one on election day. That’s too bad for Barry O.
