For the first time all year, President Bush has moved ahead of John Kerry in
the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College Projection, just as the Republican
National Convention is getting underway. 

The polling comany says its latest numbers show Bush leading in states with 213
electoral votes, while Kerry is ahead in states with 207. There are 118
electoral votes in the toss-up column, and the magic number to win the White
House is 270. 

Over this past weekend, Arkansas, Virginia and Missouri moved from toss-up to
"leans Bush." Minnesota moved from "leans Kerry" to toss-up. Maine and Michigan
moved in Kerry's direction – from toss-up to "leans Kerry." 

Rasmussen considers any state where polls show a candidate leading by less than
five percentage points to be a toss-up. 

The company also reports Bush is ahead in the popular vote 48-45 percent, the
first time since the Democratic National Convention that Bush has been up by
more than a single point, and the first time since June 12 he's been up by
three points. 

Meanwhile, the America Online straw poll shows Bush with an electoral lead of
324-214 in its unscientific survey in which AOL members are allowed to cast one
vote per month. 

As of 11 p.m. Eastern Time with more than 147,000 total votes, Bush also leads
in the AOL popular vote by 52-47 percent, with Ralph Nader collecting one
percent.
