Good news if true. No indication of what poll. Hopefully not GAllup since the PResident will hopefully have a larger lead in Gallup.

you people talk too much about polls. Why is it not good that Gallup has Bush +5?

because it's just in some people's wiring to be chicken littles... doom and gloomers...

WaPo has been releasing early on Sundays so that they get talked about on the talk shows. They did it last Sunday too.

Not actually. Just keep looking at the averages of the major reputable polls, and you will see Bush remains about 3 points up from Kerry,a nd at the 50% mark.

Looking good to me...I actaully believed with the weekend polling and all, and the tilt of the MSM and certain pollsters (Zogby vocally being a Kerry support this year--although if one checked closely they would have noticed he has long been a Democrat supporter), that Bush would be down by 2-3% by tonight. All this has actaully been great news for Bush. He polls much better during the week.

My best guess is that this will be the CBS/NYTimes poll. Their last poll in mid-October was 47-45 with Bush leading. Their last poll in 2000 understated Bush's support by 3% so a 48-45 poll from them would be good news.

If Bush is up 5 in Gallup I'd take it anyday. Pretty much spells doom for Kerry.

None of this matters, folks. What matters is whether you and I are doing what we can to get people to vote for Bush. Polls are damn interesting, but not a lock.

I think it may be a PEW poll:

Bush has a slight edge at 48 percent and Kerry at 45 percent in a Pew Research Center poll, while tracking polls by ABC News and Fox News have the two running even.

Since 1936 Gallop has only been wrong once in picking the winner...Dewey/Truman. They picked the winner in all the super close elections...Kennedy/Nixon, Nixon/Humphrey and Bush/Gore. They are the Granddaddy of polls. Of all the polls, I will put my money on Gallup.

Yeah its a Pew Poll!!!!

If a dem. poll has a 3 point lead I feel much better. I believe this shows MO for the President also

I believe that WAPO/ABC polls on Sat. afternoon. On weekdays they poll in the evening.

So the data for Sat. would have been available early Sunday, so they put it out.

Even better than the numbers is this line from Pew:

“As in previous polls, Bush’s supporters are much more enthusiastic than those backing Kerry. In fact, Bush registers a higher percentage of strong supporters in the final weekend of the campaign than any candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.”

higher percentage ...any candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.”

Anyone guessing who was in those early voter lines?
