History Repeats Itself

Today's CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll continues to give George W. Bush an advantage over his democratic opponent in a poll taken a little less than two weeks before the election.

While not a prediction of the voters' choice in November, Friday's results show Bush garnering 52 percent of the vote and his opponent drawing 39 percent. The survey of 851 likely voters was conducted October 24-26 and has a 3.5 percentage point margin of error.

A CNN/Time poll also released today gives Bush a 49 percent to 43 percent edge over the democratic nominee, which is statistically in agreement with today's CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll, given the polls' margin of sampling error.

So sayeth Gallup OCTOBER 27, 2000.

Can we stop obsessively watching Gallup now?
