(PRWEB) October 29, 2004 -- A Presidential election button poll (www.usabuttonpoll.com), which measures a persons vote for his or her preferred candidate following the purchase of collectable buttons, has Senator John F. Kerry leading President Bush by 2 percentage points if the election where held today.
With more than 18,000 individual votes cast, the www.usabuttonpoll.com results show Kerry 50.4%, Bush 48.2% and independent candidate Ralph Nader with 1.66%. Voting percentages are tabulated each evening and include that days new sales nationally at the companys retail outlets and website.

People who purchase a candidates button and know that their preferences are being measured will probably vote and vote for that candidate, said Jim Warlick, originator and owner of the online button poll. Warlick says his companys poll gives a more accurate reading for the election outcome than many polls which rely solely on telephone interviews.
The online polling project (www.usabuttonpoll.com) grew out of tallying national campaign button sales from dozens of retail locations during the four previous presidential elections.
The poll has reported election outcomes accurately in 1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000 and has been featured by USATODAY, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, Washington Post, International Herald Tribune and the Washington Times, among others.
