SAN FRANCISCO -- The presidential race has tightened in California and is now nearly a statistical tie, according to a Field Poll released Monday.
Democrat Al Gore leads Republican George W. Bush 46 percent to 41 percent among likely voters, a five point lead that barely exceeds the poll's margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
Democrats have put Gore's lead at around eight points, but Bush backers have insisted that it's closer to the low single digits.
A month ago, the Field Poll Institute reported that Gore enjoyed a 50 percent to 37 percent lead.
In the closing days of the campaign, Bush and his GOP backers have sunk more than $3 million per week into television commercials in California, spokeswoman Lindsey Kozberg said.
Green Party candidate Ralph Nader's support level hovers at four percent, according to the poll. Some 53 percent of Nader voters said Gore was their second choice, compared to 18 percent for Bush and 24 percent who said they wouldn't vote.
Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan and other minor party candidates shared 2 percent. Seven percent of voters said they were undecided.
The poll interviewed 924 likely voters Nov. points in a new poll, sought votes one at a time Sunday, while his DFL challenger, Mark Dayton, teamed up with fellow DFLer Sen. Paul Wellstone to rally volunteers working phone banks.
Grams spent the afternoon shaking hands in malls across the Twin Cities area, including customers at a Dayton's at Ridgedale in Minnetonka. He also looked for a coffee maker at the store but didn't end up buying one.
Dayton's employee Grace Kelly, 68, of Edina, ran up to Grams and said, "You're wonderful," grabbing his hand. "I've got goosebumps. My daughter and I are praying for you. We're worried."
Former GOP presidential candidate John McCain, an Arizona senator, appeared at the American Legion in Anoka to campaign on behalf of Minnesota Republicans.
"My friends, we have never seen a political campaign like this in our lives," said McCain, who's popular with sought-after independent voters. "It's a trifecta. The president, the Senate, the Congress."
Meanwhile, Dayton relied on a Minnesota figure on Sunday. Before Dayton had arrived to greet volunteers at a New Hope phone bank, Wellstone was already there, even making a few calls himself.
"Is Diane there?" Wellstone said into the telephone. "Hey Diane, Paul Wellstone. This is not a recording, OK? I promise you that. I'm just calling to put in a plug for the DFL ticket."<
