"Bush also lost the state of Pennsylvania in 2000 as well."


How could Bush possible win if 110% of voters in certain precincts voted for Gore?

A Quinnipiac University, CT poll released on Thursday, May 27, shows that Kerry has reversed his standings vis-a-vis George Bush, and pulled even with statistically as the choice of Pennsylvania voters.

I defy anyone to diagram that sentence and explain what it means.

Ok, Bush was leading 45 to 39. He now leads Kerry 44 to 41. And this is reversing the standings how?

A Quinnipiac University...

Quinnipiac University always seem very liberally slanted.

Is there a website anywhere that examines polls for their accuracy based on post election results, so that you know how much of a fudge factor each pollster adds for their guy?

If there isn't, there should be.

41% is a bad number for an incumbent. His job approval is also 41% in PA in this poll. However, he is still within striking distance because Kerry's support is so weak as well.

If the worst of the Iraq news is behind us, and the economy keeps humming, W still has a shot at PA in November.

Just a reminder of how to read ratspeak.
In ratspeak if the Republican is ahead of the rat by 4 or less points, its too close to call. If the rat is ahead by a quarter of a point, he is pulling away. If a rat is up anything from 1/2 point to 4 points he is pulling away and the race is over.
ratspeak is a predictable as stories aboout a politician getting arrested. When the guy's party is only mentioned on the jump page, you don't have to look. When it's a Republican the guy's party is mentioned in the headline.
But none of us notice this because after all, we're conservatives and conservatives are not too bright anyway. Just ask any rat professor in a big liberal factory school, he'll tell you.
