This week's Economist/You Gov poll has just come out and it continuews to have more good news for John Kerry. The poll was conducted October 25-27, with 3171 respondents ("Registered to vote": 2815, "Will definitely vote": 2588), and the MoE is +/- 2%.

Suppose the election for President were being held TODAY. Who would you vote for? George W. Bush, the Republican; John F Kerry, the Democrat; Ralph Nader, an independent candidate, or someone else?

Kerry's surge continues this week as his lead among registered voters moves from 2 points to four points and his lead among definite voters from 1 point to five points. Note Kerry is at 50 among definite voters.

Word has it that The Economist is endorsing Kerry this week after endorsing Bush four years ago, so I'll confirm that as soon as possible. The good times keep rolling.
