Did Mike Dukakis gain or lose electoral ground in the final weeks?

[Napoleon]

I remember him gaining near the end. If the campaign had been extended by a week, he may well have pulled it off.

I think he started gaining after his famous speech where he said, "This is garbage. This is political garbage."

I like how you're old enough to remember this election but have the maturity of someone born sometime between Bush v. Gore and September 11.
