New York Times/CBS News Poll finds while many Americans find Vice Pres Al Gore's stands on issues more appealing, he is not as well liked or considered as commanding a leader as Republican rival Gov George W Bush; Bush has emerged as preferred candidate across demographic spectrum, including among critical groups of Catholic, independents and Northeasterners that voted Democratic in 1996; voters are so lukewarm toward Gore that he is widely perceived as loser in November by ratio of nearly 2 to 1; Bush leads Gore among all voters by 8 percentage points, 47 to 39; holds wide advantage among men, 50 to 36 percentage points, and 44 to 42 percent among women; Gore's lagging ratings seem more related to personality than policy; he is seen favorably by 34 percent of voters and unfavorably by 36 percent, compared with Bush who is favored by 40 percent of voters and opposed by 28; Bush is viewed as more of leader among registered voters; 63 percent say he has strong leadership qualities, compared with 53 percent for Gore; photos; charts; graphs (M)
