Fox News Tracking K48 B46 11/01/04
Centuries?
Who is Fox polling? (I have NEVER been polled by anyone) I am just amazed that the race has been as close as it has been. I really thought Kerry wouldn't do very well.
LOL, this is about the 100th doom and gloom thread this morning.
This poll is an outlier. Pew has Bush up by 3 and they always favor RATS. Weekend polls are crap anyway and there is nothing serious that has happened like the DUI in 2000 to sway voters. GET OUT AND VOTE!!!
That was the clue to me that the sample for this poll was bad...Bush winning among women, Kerry among men? There is something wrong with the methodology of this poll.
I don't think I would hold the Bush team nearly as responsible as I would the shear ignorance of half of Americans.
Obviously the refs were democrats.
The problem with your analysis is tha .000001% wins the state. So it doesn't need to be an overwhelming popular vote to have an Electoral College "landslide." Now, I don't think Bush can get more than 320 EVs. But it's possible, even with thin pop vote #s.
I'm a big believer in the "weekend sauce" for Dems. That certainly explains all the "momentum" toward Kerry for the last 3 days.
It does worry me, however, that the appearance of momentum could swing a number of votes to Kerry just because he looks to be pulling ahead. I'm not a doom and gloomer. It just depresses me that we have to deal with these last minute weekend surges every 4 years regardless of the merit just because we vote on Tuesday.
If you know anyone who's waivering, just whisper to them:
"CHIEF JUSTICE Hillary Rodham Clinton".
Get a grip. Bush ahead in FL, NM, MO, NV, CO, WV, AK, Tied in HI, NH, MN, PA, OH.
It would not surprise me at all. Bush let Kerry back into this game with that pathetic first debate.
If Bush loses, as I fear he will, that will have been the turning point.
Don't you think they fell down in many areas in this campaign? There are so many attacks they didn't answer. That's why this thing could go for Kerry. They let him spew and spew and they let him lie and lie and attack and attack, and they didn't fight back enough. If they win, it'll be bacuse of us, not because of them.
This is the same as the CNN poll reported on my MSM local ABC affiliate today.
Volunteer to get out the vote!!!! President Bush needs YOUR HELP TODAY!!!!!!!!!
This is the head to head view (just Bush v. Kerry)
I agree, yes I would hold them partly to blame but I think if the citizens in this country truly cared enough they would take the time to inform themselves of the facts and the truth.
It disgusts me far more than half the population will make a decision based on a few commercials.
Steady FReepers! We are going to win. Stay positive and PRAY!!
If you note in the RCP polls, the main polls that are usually considered most accurate (Gallup/Battleground) have Bush up as do most others. Let's face it, Fox is probably trying to be "fair and balanced" besides it was a weekend poll.
