President leads Kerry by wide margin in poll (Nevada)

If the presidential election were held today, President Bush could count on Nevada's five electoral votes, according to a poll of likely voters.

A telephone poll of 625 voters by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc., for the Review-Journal, showed Bush leading Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry by 11 points, 49 to 38 percent.

Independent candidate Ralph Nader has 4 percent support, and 9 percent of those surveyed are undecided. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Ok, we have Nevada 'locked', only 49 states to go

This is good news. There had been rumblings that Nevada was moving into toss-up status.

NY times headline: "Bush and Kerry in dead-heat in Nevada"
The article will then go on to assign all of the Nader votes and undecided votes to Kerry. Then it will explain that Bush has only improved in Nevada because of his NEGATIVE PERSONAL ATTACKS against Kerry.
It's so hard to get any story out that is positive for bush, I salute the paper that printed this.

That's big in Nevada, but it's still early.

I think more and more states are going to start showing a widening gap.

Soon, the Dems will need to reevaluate: Is 2004 a throwaway or not. If the former, they'll let Kerry continue, as he's doing a good job sinking his own ship. If the latter, they'll find some (probably sudden health concern) that removes him.

Of course, if Hillary is the alternate, she will want Kerry to stay in as long as possibly feasible, so she won't have to spend much time on the actual campaign trail and having to answer uncomfortable questions. For her benefit, Kerry might stay in until early October.

This is really quite unfair. They are polling "likely voters" not "adults" or even "registered voters." Furthermore, everyone knows that Landslide Reed, Nevada's senior senator, is far more popular in the state than George W. Bush and will actively campaign against him due to the aministrations decisions to relocate nuclear waste in the middle of a desert with no water table.

"I salute the paper that printed this."

I would like to recant that statement. I just read the whole article on the link... and noticed that later in the article the paper actually tries to spin the numbers as being BAD FOR BUSH. What a joke. At least they didn't cover up their own poll the way CBS and the NYTimes did.

Botox... Poisoning... Blaaaaaaaaaah! Potential risk of Arkancide!

Clinton won here handily in 92 and 96, Bush beat Gore by about 20,000 votes in 2000.

Had to be the white women factor.

Kerry is going to be getting even less white women than Gore.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Why can't Nevada Republicans find a strong candidate to oust Reid?

Looks like the President's coattails may be strong enough to help.

QUESTION: If the 2004 presidential election were held today, for whom would you vote if the candidates were John Kerry, the Democrat, George W. Bush, the Republican and Ralph Nader, an independent?

	STATE	MEN	WOMEN	DEM	REP	IND	CLARK	WASHOE	RURAL

Here are a few more reasons to keep your eye on Queenie. She's still got Kerry's FBI file. McCauliffe's running the DNC. She's got more money than the Bush campaign AND George Soros would gladly throw a billion her way if she needed it. She would suck the oxygen out of the Nader camp in a New York minute. Ketchup boy's getting pulled in the 9th inning!

We can count of TEXAS, for Bush.........

[TomGuy]

I agree. Kerry is in for a big fall {not autumn either}. Either he will trip himself up or the Clintons are playing him for Hillary's benefit. The Clintons are still in control of the DNC and the Democrat Party.
