GALLUP [Rich Lowry]

I'm hearing that the new Gallup number is going to have Bush up BIG.

[medscribe]

Hmmm...so how "big" is BIG? 10+??

[DM1]

when are these numbers out?

[Petronski]

I think CNN releases them on their 5pm show. Not sure.

[Jenya]

[medscribe]

Don't know. Rich didn't say.

[hawaiian]

It's definitely going to be big. There has been HUGE movement over the last 3-4 days. Rasmussen's polling day yesterday, for example, must have been huge, making Bush's lead 4 points on a 3-day poll. The state polls have been unbelievable.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

John Kerry doesn't pay any attention to polls. Or at least, that's what he said the other day.

Two minutes later:

RE: GALLUP [Jonah Goldberg]
Rich -- You must have gotten the same fake-but-accurate memo I got.

[Petronski]

Also, I believe they are prereleased to the media, but embargoed until CNN reports.


Thus, Lowry/Goldberg et al. WOULD be in a position to know them.

[johniegrad]

Not a lot of meat here. Where's the beef?

[hawaiian]

Well, what, aside from the momentum we've seen from others that I referred to earlier, made you think Bush was going to be up big? Did he say anything about being up big?

[Bertha Fanation]

Better watch it. David Gergen could question the timing of the poll.

[aft_lizard]

Pat Caddel on H+C last night said he saw the latest gallup numbers and he said forget it its over, if I remember correctly. Then Hannity had to make an ass out of himself and say " I will hannitize you " which ruined whatever Pat was going to say about the polls.

[IrishGOP]

Maybe Kerry will see the bounce this time. His gigantic chin hitting the floor.

[mlbford2]

Must be the reason the IEM futures are up HUGE over the last day. BUSH STORM SURGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thingumbob]

Put me down for 12 points.......

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I wanna hug Dan Rather.

[DM1]

forgive my ignorance but who is Pat Caddell

[aft_lizard]

and whether any of the pollsters had anything to do with Lester Maddox

[Maceman]

John Kerry doesn't pay any attention to polls. Or at least, that's what he said the other day.

Well, that's what the focus groups told him to say, anyway.
