McReynolds still had a slight lead on Gore.
Even allowing for self-selection factors and the inherent biases of computer owners (a presumably richer, and righter, bunch than the average American), this still amazes me. Adding the McReynolds and Nader votes shows that over one-quarter of the respondents can be identified as leftists. This means that one-quarter of these people can look at the debates and watch and read the media and nowhere see their views acknowledged in any meaningful way.
