According to this, Nader pulls 2% from both the Kerry and Bush columns, and 2% from elsewhere:

Poll: Support for Bush, Iraq war dropping

Kerry leads Bush in matchups

(CNN) -- As Americans express growing unease about Iraq, President Bush's job approval rating has taken a hit, according to a poll released Friday by CNN and Time magazine.

That development appears to be helping Sen. John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. He wins the support of 51 percent of likely voters, compared to 46 percent for Bush. In February, Bush was ahead of Kerry by two percentage points.

If independent Ralph Nader is among the choices, Kerry gets 49 percent, Bush 44 percent and Nader 6 percent. -----------------------------------

So if Nader just keeps "following his delusions" by tacking rightward into Perot Country, Bush may be sunk for good. Add to that the usual obnoxious bullying of progressives by left liberal Democrats in the two week runup to Election Day (in the Abu Ghurayb annex of the Democratic Party), and Nader should be a net minus for Bush

And seeing how Delusion Incarnate became President in 2000, one can suppose anything is possible in the American political insane asylum.

Except for a politically independent progressive left. That's not possible for some reason. That thinking is the ultimate delusion.
