Someone please explain ....
For those who already cast a ballot the breakdown is
51% for Bush and 43% for Kerry. Since they did cast
a vote that means 94% cast a vote for Bush or Kerry
and 6% cast a vote for ???.
What am I missing ?
Those all have weight, I agree. But also working on Bush's side is that he was an unknown quanity in 2000, some of his base stayed home in 2000 after the DUI attack, and we are at war with terrorist organizations, which most people trust him to better deal with.
"A poll by CBS showing Bush ahead? I love it! If that doesn't say Bush is going to win I don't know what will!!"
You're right. THIS THING MUST BE GOING TO BE A BLOWOUT OF MOOReISH PROPORTIONS!!!!!!!!!
Me too. I always believe good will prevail.
For Kerry to get to 50%, he has to get 4 million more votes while Bush holds steady. I'm not buying it, the Amish said they are voting this time and they are voting for BUSH! LOL
Ah jeeze, here comes the C-BS hit piece.....!
Headline: Kerry Comes Back!
Hate to be a sour puss, but I don't trust Dano farther than I can throw 'em - which ain't far!
Yes..and they were one of the more accurate ones in 2000
Is 8 percent considered a landslide. I think it will be 8 points.
:-} Yeah, I know the theories but I've never seen hard data to support them. But I have seen the theory morph into a law this election cycle. Its like clockwork.
why?
Maybe 6% stated that they had already voted, but refused to say who they had voted for?
Did you see these hysterical lines from today's Minneapolis Star Tribune? They released a poll showing Kerry up 9 pts, way outside other polls. Here's what their pollster said:
"You're not going to see Kerry winning by 8 points, and that lead in the poll may be a little high. The poll is very consistent with a whole lot of other results, so no one can disagree with it."Ha Ha! Those pesky voters keep getting more conservative after Friday....LOLOLOL!Bush also could be helped by the fact that the Minnesota Poll has, since 1996, consistently found that starting the Friday night before the election, the electorate becomes more conservative and ends up voting more Republican.
Kerry's range has been 46 to 47 awhile now and Bushes has been 48 to 49...now in the last week we have had Bush at 50 and over on major polls not tracking....tracking has shown a tie this weekend but a 2 to 3 + for Bush during the week. Many now say that it looks like Bush is getting the undecided but he only needs a little. Bush is at 50 % or better now as we speak and will probably get 51 % of the vote to Kerry's 48 and who ever less than 1. The State polls from Mason Dixon are the ones to hang your hat on.
Let's hope this one's over as early as that game 7 was. And that the French guy (Patrick Roy/John Kerry) is taunted by the audience after leaving the stage.
I just read that......isn't that a hoot.
Dowd has consistently said that this was a 2-3 point race for months.
Does Anyone know when Gallup posts their next numbers?? Please let us know. Thanks.
Thanks for the ping. Looks like steady as she goes on these national polls, still waiting for Time and especially Gallup.
Well...I have heard of "Play[ing] on words" but "play on letters"! Kudos for creativity!!!
