Nader draw off about 4-6% of the votes from Kerry. In all polls taken when he is not considered then Kerry vs. Bush are even. When Nader is mixed in then Kerry drops by 4-10% (poll dependent) but Bush stays the same.
Thats why Dems want him out.
The most recent IBD/TIPP poll was conducted June 14-19.
Too Close To Call
It shows the presidential race still close and within the poll's margin of error. Among 802 registered voters, President Bush leads Sen. John Kerry 44% to 41%, with independent Ralph Nader getting 6%. In a two-way race, Bush and Kerry are tied at 44%.
The previous IBD/TIPP poll, taken June 8-13, also had Bush up by three points (43%-40%), with Nader pulling 5%. In a two-way race, Bush led by one.
Results in other national polls vary widely.
Over the weekend, Harris Interactive said its June 8-15 poll of likely voters showed Bush opening up a 10-point lead (51%-41%) over Kerry, with Nader at 6%. Among all Americans, Harris had Bush up by six.
But Monday, a Washington Post-ABC News poll of registered voters taken June 17-20 had Kerry at 48%, Bush at 44% and Nader at 6%.
A Pew Research survey done June 3-13 had Bush up by four (46%-42%) and Nader at 6%.
