As Election Day nears and the number of undecided voters dwindles, President Bush and U.S. Sen. John Kerry remain in a tight-locked race for Nevada’s five electoral votes, according to a new statewide poll.

Mirroring results from polls conducted throughout the fiercely contested race in Nevada, 49 percent of the 600 likely voters surveyed would vote for Bush and 47 percent would vote for Kerry, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal/News 4 poll.

Only 2 percent of those surveyed remained undecided — representing a shrinking ability for either candidate to break open the race before Nov. 2. While Bush has consistently maintained a slight lead over his Democratic challenger, poll results have nearly always put the two in a statistical dead heat.

“It’s a hell of a race. It really is,” said pollster Del Ali. “Right now I’d be shocked if any candidate won by more than 3 or 4 points in Nevada.

2. What are the odd's makers saying ?

I live in Ca. and close to Nevada, Lake Tahoe is about a 3 1/2 hour drive for me ! Since it appears that in Nevada you can bet on just about anything ,I was wondering if they are taking bets on the Presidential race, and if the answer is yes ,what odd are and in who's favor !

3. They're not taking bets, because that's illegal,

but they do have odds. Last I heard it was 7/4 for Kerry, and 4/11, I believe, for Bush.

4. Single woman - reporting in

I have a cell phone and no land line so I haven't been polled.

I voted yesterday proudly wearing my Kerry/Edwards button.

Polling place was busy but I only waited about 10-15 minutes; probably not even that long as my internal chronometer distorts the passage of time when I'm standing and waiting. It was difficult to read how the people might be voting. Everyone was serious and polite. The poll worker was saying they'd been busy all morning.

I've taken the 29th through Nov 3 off so I can work on GOTV where ever it is I might be needed.

Don't count Nevada out yet. Other polls I've seen show early polling leaning Kerry. Many people are energized by the attempts of the repubs to disenfranchise voters by challenging some voters' status on the rolls and by Sproul and Assoc. group "allegedly" destroying some Democratic voters' registrations.

Also, if I remember correctly, the Reno Gazette Journal leans right. The Las Vegas Review Journal, leans far right and I can't find anything about early voting trends on their web site this morning. That bodes well as they might be inclined to NOT report good news for Kerry/Edwards.

Just my .02.

5. Kerry needs to put one single add on Nevada television and

run it over and over and over: If I'm elected there will be NO NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP IN NEVADA.

6. Bush wants to dump all the nuclear garbage in Nevada. How can

anyone in Nevada vote for these jerks?
