Newsweek poll shows Gore leading Bradley in New HampshireBy Associated Press, 1/15/2000
In polling Wednesday through Friday, the newsmagazine said 50
percent of people who plan to vote in the Feb. 1 primary favored
Gore to 36 percent Bradley. The other 14 percent were undecided.
Newsweek said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., moved in the Republican
campaign from a statistical dead heat to a slight lead over the
national front-runner, Gov. George W. Bush of Texas. The poll
showed McCain with 42 percent to Bush's 34 percent backing among
people who plan to vote in the primary. Steve Forbes was the only
other GOP candidate in double figures, with 11 percent.
Interviewers talked Jan. 12-14 with 848 registered voters who
said they planned to vote in New Hampshire. The margin of error was
7 percent for Democrats and 6 percent for Republicans.
The Democratic result showed a significant change from the last
Newsweek poll, in early December. It showed Bradley, a former U.S.
senator from New Jersey, leading Gore 47 percent to 40 percent,
with 13 percent undecided. With a 6 percentage point margin of
error, that gave Bradley a slight lead.
Recent polls by other organizations also have shown Bradley
leading Gore, or in a dead heat.
Gore led Bradley by 10 percentage points, 46 percent to 36
percent, in the early November Newsweek poll.
