...this race at all, when every historical measure says he should be down about 20 points, signals some fundamental problem with Gore that represents Bush's best hope for victory. Above all, the debate seems to have reinforced questions about Gore's credibility: in the TIME/CNN poll, more than half of likely voters think Gore "changes his mind too often on important issues just to win votes," whereas only 34% feel this way about Bush. Sixty percent think Gore would say anything to get elected President. What good does it do to have people agree with you on most issues...
...wealthiest 1% (families that earn $319,000 a year or more) than Bush spends on health care, the prescription-drug benefit, education and defense combined. He wanted to brand Bush as a tax adviser to the plutocracy, but he appears to have had only modest success; in the TIME/CNN poll, just under half of voters agreed that Bush's plan "would enrich the wealthiest 1% of Americans." Given the high stakes, it was surprising that Bush responded not with a specific rebuttal but mostly with complaints about Gore's "phony numbers" and "fuzzy math." Bush's advisers say this...

The good news for Gore was that most people thought he won. A majority, according to a new TIME/CNN poll, agree with him on everything from education to Social Security to Medicare. The bad news is that they are no more likely to vote for him than before - and maybe even less...
...TIME/CNN poll of likely voters gave Bush a two-point advantage, 47% to 45%, a statistical dead heat, after weeks when Gore looked as if he was cementing at least a narrow lead in most polls. In a race so tight, the debate was supposed to start shoving undecided voters into one camp or the other. "We thought it was going to come down to one debate," said retiring Ohio Republican John Kasich. "It turns out all three are going to be important...
