Pollster John Zogby:
"The third debate is now registering among voters and Kerry had a good day, leading by two points today alone. He now is behind by only two overall. He managed today to regain a good lead among 18-29 year olds (especially 18-24 year olds, who he will need on November 2 to win). He also has consolidated his lead among Hispanics and is now only yielding 12 points to Bush among Democrats.
"Kerry and Bush are tied among Catholics, a fascinating dynamic to watch this year. Kerry must win among Catholics to win this year. Kerry holds solid advantages among Moderates (51%-36%).
"The President is still on the short-end on his job performance and re-elect. Kerry leads among new voters (46%-42%), while the President holds a slight advantage among those who have already voted (46%-42%).
"Among Undecided voters, the President has a 34% positive job rating, 66% negative. And only 18% say he deserves to be re-elected to 39% who say it is time for someone new. Among this latter group, 99% say they are likely to vote.
“Not only has the race closed, but Kerry has opened a gender gap and has expanded his lead also among seniors (65+), single women and union members. Bush is still strong with investors and Born Again Christians. Where is Nader going?"
