Do I believe that Bush is up nationally 8 points by Gallup, nope. Bush is up by 4 to 6 points.
Bush gotta take OH, or it's going to be a very long night.

Thanks for the help.
I'm concerned about fraud as well; however, I've been assured that registration forms will be thoroughly reviewed (particularly those submitted by ACT)!!!
I agree that Mason-Dixon is an excellent firm. In fact, I trust Gallup and Mason-Dixon before every other polling firm.
You're welcome!
I definitely would agree with that.
I hope you're right, but virtually all of the EC trackers I'm aware of classify them as a Republican firm.
ANYBODY that votes for Kerry should be classified as mentally retarded .

This is not bad news. The poll is almost a month old and out of date
Accually, the undecided in a presidential elections usally brake for the imcumbent. It did not for Carter and Bush 41. It did for Gore and that's why 2000 was so close.
Bad news?!? Dubya's leading in OH and many other swing states, and this poll also shows a slight lead. Don't miss the forest for the trees, Bro.
I am a poll watching junkie myself, but we really only have to look at the campaigning of Bush and Kerry to know that Ohio still has some work to do. Bush has spent a good amount of time there recently, including this coming weekend too. The huge crowds certainly make me feel better about his chances though.
AND I did read that Kerry is supposed to be in Youngstown, Ohio on Sunday I think.
The good thing is that Kerry won't have as many options as Bush for what to do down the stretch. The Bush campaign can go head to head wherever they decide to roost, while some of Kerry's "safe" states may falter.
Just read that Karl Rove told Hannity today that they have a couple of October surprises for John Kerry. Sounds very interesting!
Sorry. I have a little inside info, and all I'll say is that this is so far off that it's funny. But, please, Dems, believe this. Keep spending your money here.
When an incumbent is running for re-election, the best predictor of how undecideds will break is the President's job approval rating. His election day percentage is likely to be very close to his job approval rating on that day. Gallup currently has Bush at 54%, which is the same as Clinton in 1996 and Reagan in 1984.
I've seen CNN play games before by announcing bogus blurps of news where it never resurfaces again.
You are correct. Fine Job!
Are you talking about Gallup specifically, or Ohio polls generally?
