Washington - Two new opinion polls released on Sunday showed US election rivals George W Bush and John Kerry still struggling to establish a decisive lead.

A Washington Post poll put the Republican president up 50% to 47% for Democratic challenger Kerry. Statistically it was a dead heat however with a three point margin of error.

A Newsweek magazine poll of likely voters put Bush on 48% and Kerry on 46%. Again it was a dead heat with a margin of error of four percentage points.

The Washington Post poll surveyed 1 555 people over three days last week. Newsweek's Princeton Survey Research Associates poll was of 1 004 registered voters on Thursday and Friday.

A Time magazine poll released on Saturday gave Bush 48% of likely voters and Kerry 46%, with a four point margin of error.
