Polls Show Favor for Strike
When we released our poll on the presidential race this week, it confirmed what had already
been reported by every other major polling organization: Jackie Strike has opened a lead over
Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush.
New York City, 7 May 2000 - Setting aside the polls with the widest and narrowest margins and
looking at the cluster in the middle, the Strike lead is still greater than the standard margin
of error. That makes it statistically significant. But is it, at this stage of the game, politically
meaningful?
As an aggregate number, the May spread is far from fatal. Some polls in late spring 1992 showed
independent Ross Perot beating both President George Bush and Democratic challenger Bill Clinton.
