Poll: If Election Were Held Today, 95% Would Miss It
by Scott Ott

(2004-02-19) -- A new CNN-USA Today poll reveals that if the presidential election were held today, most Americans would not vote for any candidate.

About 95 percent of a representative sample of 1,295 registered voters said that if the election were held today, they would not even go to their voting precinct.

Here's a breakdown of the results:
-- 48% said, "I usually vote before work, and it's too late for that now."
-- 32% said, "I have not yet devoted enough study time to the issues and candidates."
-- 15% said, "I'm on the national Do-Not-Call registry, get lost."

The other five percent were equally divided between George W. Bush and "that Democrat named John."

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus nine months.
