DescriptionPresident Bush is rapidly tying up the Catholic vote, according to two polls that show him gaining support among this traditionally Democratic group.

A second poll, released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press, was not as dramatic, but it does show the president building an edge of 49 percent to 39 percent against Mr. Kerry among white Catholics. This poll, conducted Sept. 22 to 26 among 948 registered voters, had a margin of error of 3.5 percent.
