...support that candidate. By a 38-20 margin, voters said Clinton's stance on tobacco comes closer to their own than Dole's. Neither candidate appears to be helped by the addition of a Reform Party candidate into the fold. In a three-way race with either Ross Perot or Richard Lamm, Clinton's lead over Dole grows to 16 points, with Perot pulling in 13 percent and Lamm taking just 4 percent. Clinton's approval rating also rebounded from June, jumping five points to 55 percent. Along with Clinton solidifying his lead, Democrat Congressional candidates have improved their standing...

...Perot, as he often does, is giving mixed signals about his intentions. When he met privately with Lamm and Lamm's brother Tom, he was cryptic enough to send the siblings away with conflicting readings. Tom thought Perot could be taken at his word about preferring not to run. Richard saw a greater chance that Perot would seize the nomination...

Certainly, the Texan seems obsessed with the grinding process of getting the Reform Party on as many state ballots as possible. His operatives added North Carolina to the list last week, but that brought the total to only 13. In a marked change of strategy, Perot is seeking federal money for the Reform Party's ticket, at least in part because he wants to create a party that will outlast him. Under federal rules, if Perot gets 5% of the popular vote in this election, his party gains not only legal status but also the right to a federal subsidy...
