I'm in Culver City right now awaiting my interview for Jeopardy with some time to kill, so I thought I might do a little blogging (unfortunately, internet access here is a bit expensive, so I have to keep this short).

There is a new poll out from Rasmussen Reports, a polling outfit that has been tracking the race for the presidency all year. According to Scott Rasmussen, President Bush leads John Kerry by a 47.5-46.1 margin; with the MoE of +/- 2.0%, this means the race is essentially tied. What is more, this poll--with a substantially larger sample than that of any of the "major" polling outlets (like Newsweek, the AP, etc.)--shows that President Bush has not in fact jumped out to a large lead.

The race remains quite close, so we'll just have to wait and see how things develop in the few remaining weeks.
