Bush, Kerry in statistical dead heat among likely Nevada voters, Sun poll saysOctober 23 - 24, 2004
A new statewide poll taken for the Las Vegas Sun/Channel 8 Eyewitness News/KNPR Nevada Public Radio shows Republican President Bush leading Democratic challenger John Kerry 45 percent to 41 percent among very likely voters in Nevada.
That's a statistical dead heat because it is within the margin of error of 4 percentage points. It also represents a slight narrowing of Bush's lead in Nevada when compared with a similar statewide poll taken last month that showed him ahead 47-42.
The latest Sun/Channel 8/KNPR poll of 600 very likely voters was conducted from Oct. 16 through Oct. 19 by Washington-based polling firm Belden Russonello & Stewart. The poll was taken after the third and final presidential debate.
In addition to the 45 percent for Bush and 41 percent for Kerry, independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader and Libertarian Party candidate Mike Badnarik each received 1 percent, and 9 percent were undecided.
