(CPOD) Oct. 4, 2004 - George W. Bush holds the lead in the state of Wisconsin, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports. 49 per cent of respondents would vote for the Republican incumbent in the 2004 United States presidential election, while 46 per cent would support Democratic nominee John Kerry.
Two per cent of respondents would vote for another candidate, and three per cent are undecided. The election is scheduled for Nov. 2.
Support for Bush remained stable since early September, while backing for Kerry dropped by one per cent. In August, the Republican held a three per cent lead over the Democrat.
Democrat Al Gore won Wisconsin's 11 electoral votes in the 2000 election, defeating Bush by just over 5,000 ballots. No Republican has carried the state since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
