http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/2004/la-na-poll28oct28,0,4802765,print.story?coll=la-home-headlinesDiverging trends in the three largest battleground states point toward a volatile and tense finish in the presidential race, new Times polls have found.
The surveys find President Bush holding an 8 percentage point lead among likely voters in Florida, John Kerry opening a 6 percentage point advantage in Ohio, and the two men battling to a dead heat in Pennsylvania.
These three states have drawn more time and attention from the candidates than any others, and many analysts in both parties believe that whoever wins two of them will have a clear advantage in the race for the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.
The Times results portray a slightly closer race in Pennsylvania than most other recent public surveys, which have shown Kerry with leads of 2 to 5 percentage points.
