New Poll: Kerry Would Lose To Bush
Last Poll Showed Senator With Commanding Lead

POSTED: 6:48 a.m. EDT May 21, 2003

BOSTON -- The presidential campaign of Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry received some startling news Wednesday from his own back yard.

A poll recently conducted by the research institute Mass Insight shows Kerry trailing President Bush in the race for president in the Bay State.

The poll, which involved 500 Massachusetts voters at the end of April, shows the president with a 6 percentage point lead -- the exact numbers have not been released.

This stands in stark contrast to a similar poll taken by the group in January. Back then, Kerry had a commanding 16 point lead in Massachusetts in a theoretical matchup with the president.

We're not ALL stupid here in MA

Sweet.

At this rate, if he continues his campaign strategy between now and the election, he could end up with no votes in Mass.

What's wrong with the people in Massachusetts? Don't they know John Kerry served in Vietnam!?

Actually, the polls indicate that the more he talks, the more his support erodes.

Those who know John "LiveShot" Kerry best.

This explains the long face. (Pics please)

a way early poll, but this has to piss off Kerry's strategists as their talking points are getting them nowhere fast.

LOL! This is great. Maybe people starting listening to Kerry and realized they couldn't understand anything. Kerry takes the notion of triangularization to a whole new level. He spins and twists so much that he is totally incomprehensible. Kerry's a loser.

HA-Ha!!!

[ChadGore]

Isn't that his home state ?

[MattinNJ]

HeHeHe. I just faxed this over to an attorney who is ketchup boys fund raising chairman in Joisey. We are having a closing on Friday and I am taking immense pleasure in busting his chops.

Looks like John Kerry is going to have to play ketchup for the rest of the game. (I wish I had the link to that old cartoon)

I'd love to see Mr. Heinz face when he read this.... Next we'll hear he doesn't read the paper or watch the news....

New Poll: Kerry Would Lose to Bush in Massachusetts!

Am I dreaming? If I am not, then Kerry is having nightmare!

[Non-Sequitur]

Is there anyone out there who honestly believes that Bush has a realistic chance of carrying Massachusetts in 2004?

[Theodore R.]

This is a surprise in that the Republicans declined to offer opposition to Senator Kerry in 2002. Usually people in MA think this JFK wanna-be is the second best thing to the original chip off the block, EMK.
