In addition to this FL poll, here are the 7-day numbers for other states:

MI: Bush 46 - Kerry 46
MN: Bush 46 - Kerry 48
OH: Bush 48 - Kerry 45
PA: Bush 48 - Kerry 46

So, in the 3 primary battleground states of FL, OH and PA, Bush has leads of 4, 3 and 2. Plus, MI is a tie.

Not bad numbers considering that about half the data would now be post-debate.

Plus the post debate data is from the weekend. Persevere.

I think the numbers will decline for a couple more days as the impact of the debate media spin fully gets incorporated, but by the weekend because of good performances by Cheney and Bush at the debates, plus a great jobs report the tide will turn back our way... and by next tuesday we will be ahead by 5 or 6 nationally and have only 3 weeks to go!!!

If the Presidential race were a stock, I would say Kerry got a dead cat bounce from the debate. That Luch headed b*tch is going down and I would short that French twit for every cent you got. The fact is, call me crazy, but the majority of Americans don`t like communist/socialist poodle boys who call our troops baby killers and who insisted over 30 years ago that pulling out of Vietnam "would not result in a massacre of the Vietnamese"...I can`t wait till this jackass loses, and George Soros, Michael Moore and all the rest should get it shoved right up their wazoo when that happens. "The American people have spoken...Observe ye olde middle finger gentlemen."

I wonder what breakdown is in the number between pre-debate and post-debate interviews. Regardless, this 4 point lead is the same as the Survey USA poll done over the weekend. Good stuff.

Bush lost Minn, Michigan and PA last time. If he wins these this time, Florida could be lost without harm.

Early on in the campaign, I saw many more Kerry/Edwards stickers & lawn signs (3 to 1), granted I live in Liberal Broward County FL. Little by little the Kerry stickers and signs have been dissapearing to a now 50/50 rate since the middle of September. The Kerry won the debate furor will soon dissipate and Bush will regain a larger lead IMHO. By Nov 1st I predict the lead in Fl will be 6-10 % Bush. Keep in mind that the hurricanes probably kept many people's minds here from the election and those people are mostly Republican homeowners & not Demo trailer dwellers (Nothing against trailer dwellers, my mom is one.

I went to the Rasmussen site, and the latest PA poll was Bush 47 Kerry 47, the latest OH poll was Bush 48 Kerry 47, and the latest MN poll was over a week old and had Bush and Kerry tied at 46%. It seems like only the Michigan numbers are correct. Where did you get your numbers?
