If the 1988 presidential election were held now, Republican candidate George Bush and Democratic candidate Gary Hart would win about the same share of the popular vote, according to a new Gallup Poll test election. Sen. Hart of Colorado currently is the choice of 46% of registered voters nationwide to 44% for Vice President Bush, with 10% naming other candidates or undecided. The latest figures are statistically unchanged from the results of a January poll in which Hart received 47% of the vote to Bush’s 45%.
