THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN September 12-16, 2004

The contest between President George W. Bush and Democratic challenger John Kerry looks much as it did in a CBS News Poll conducted last week, after the Republican convention. Bush's post-convention bounce remains intact, if even slightly larger in this poll; Bush now leads Kerry 50% to 41% among registered voters, giving the President a 9-point margin.

PRESIDENTIAL HORSERACE (Registered Voters)

Now Last week

Bush-Cheney 50% 49%

Kerry-Edwards 41 42

Nader-Camejo 3 1

Ralph Nader may be on the ballot in some states in November, and he receives 3% of the vote. Without Nader on the ballot, Bush's lead is slightly smaller, at 8 points; in a two-way contest, Bush would receive 50% to Kerry's 42%.
