Vice President Al Gore does better in hypothetical matchups with Texas Governor George W. Bush and former head of the Red Cross Elizabeth Dole in California than he does in the nation. The 2000 presidential election season is in full swing. And, there have been a myriad of polling data nationally and in many states to tell us that Governor George W. Bush of Texas is exceedingly popular within his own Republican ranks and with Americans in general.
All candidates head west when running for president.
Plus candidates rely on snagging many large contributions from donors living here. Gore so far has spent more than 50 days in California, Bradley, around 11 days and is making a week long swing into the state this week. He has to get out from under a two-term sitting president and he has to be able to show his leadership ability and his vision for the country s future. These are large challenges. Gore is trailing behind Bush in most surveys, but according to a new Los Angeles Times poll, Gore has some good news and some bad news in California.
