WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry are tied with two days remaining in a tense race for the White House, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Sunday.

Kerry and Bush were deadlocked at 48 percent in the latest three-day national tracking poll, which included one day of polling taken after the airing of a videotape from Osama bin Laden. Kerry led Bush 47-46 percent on Saturday.

Only 2 percent of voters remain undecided as Bush and Kerry scour about 10 remaining battleground states to find the 270 electoral votes they need to win on Tuesday.

"Each man has consolidated his own base," pollster John Zogby said.
