Interesting survey. It would make Kerry the second Democrat to fail to carry his home state. And the Electoral College vote matchup happens to be exactly the same total as Ronaldus Magnus' second term victory in 1984. Don't be surprised if it happens.

[goldstategop]

Sorry, Kerry carries Connecticut AND Vermont as well as D.C. A Sea of Red! That would make the Bush Haters shut up for good!

[counterpunch]

That's about right I think.
I really don't know if Bush will carry that number of states, but as I've been saying, it will be between 57% and 61% fo Bush. Based on the economic model.

[teletech]

I think Bush will win but this is just a bit optimistic.

...In what some political observers might view as shocking news

only a "political observer" with no experience whatsoever with online polls would be "shocked" by the results of one.

any "political observer" who considers the results of any online poll "shocking news" needs to learn the meaning of the word "unscientific."

this online poll means nothing, would mean nothing if it showed Kerry winning fifty states, and would mean nothing if it showed Nader winning fifty states.

this does tell me something, though, about the quality of reporting in World Net Daily.

[ChicagoHebrew]

internet polling is garbage. it's constantly subject to freeps and DUing, mass and multiple voting by activists. etc.

don't believe a word of this poll. it's worthless.

[GretchenM]

Thought you might find this "interesting."

Internet polls are trash. For what they're worth (which probably isn't much), these results are the ones we should be concerned about:

A Gallup survey following the recent Democratic convention had Bush receiving 50 percent support among likely voters, and Kerry with 47 percent. Among the larger group of registered voters, Kerry held a 50-47 lead.

According to a poll published Aug. 5 by Rasmussen Reports, Kerry held an electoral lead over Bush of 228-197, with 113 votes listed as toss-ups.

Rasmussen also puts out a daily tracking poll on the presidential contest, and yesterday's results had Kerry leading the incumbent in the popular vote 49 to 46 percent.

So where is the supposed Bush surge? Do Bush supporters just not answer their telephones, or are they always working to keep the economy going and never home? Lots of work to be done, folks.

AOL members? There are people still using this crap called AOL?

Now, I'm as optimistic that Bush will win as the next person. However, this poll...is pretty much crap if you ask me. Every poll, from SurveyUSA to Gallup, has the race close. Now, these polls may not be the most accurate out there (especially if they over sample Democrats over Republicans), but still, they are CERTAINLY more accurate then any internet poll out there (polls that can be skewed by either Freepers or DUers). And one restricted to AOL members certainly doesn't add to the accuracy.

[Dragonspirit]

Things like this get us too complacent. I believe this as much as I believe Zogby.

This election will be CLOSE, and with the Democrat propensity to cheat and attempt to steal election by courts, allowing felons to vote, bribing the homeless and shutting out the military, we have to make sure Republican turnout is huge.

So not only do you need to vote, but bring your boys and talk to your co workers, neighbors and even the postman. Everyone must do their part on election day! We don't need to just win, we need to win by enough so that the Dim Rats can't try to steal it again. And this time, they even have the manufactured 'electroic screen' story and even European "observers" to try and give the election to Kerry through the courts.

Let your friends and family KNOW that we have to re-elect Big W. If you like your terrorists dead and your taxes low, you'll vote for GWB. If you don't, you won't.

[muir_redwoods]

This will be a very close election. Polls aren't worthless but how many of you have freeped an internet poll?

Every vote counts and it'll be almost as close as last time. There is nothing to be gained by deluding ourselves that W will win in a landslide. I think he will win but it'll be very close.

[dawn53]

Okay.....who freeped this poll???

Don't you know that Rasmussen, Gallup, and CBS polls tell us we are a 50/50 nation.

Only "rich people" have computers and can vote in this poll and we know all rich people are Republicans!

I was just talking to my mother the other day, she told me that she still remembers the Truman/Dewey election, and learned a lot about what can happen when people get over confident.

I like these poll numbers, but I'm waiting until I hear a fat lady singing before I relax.

[freeangel]

I believe that AOL might do anything to lull us into a false sense of security so that we will give an inch and blink first.

There! I can take my foil hat off now.

[quadrant]

As much as I desire to believe this poll, I find the conclusions ridiculous.
The last time I put faith in an AOL poll was in 2004, and it predicted the GWB would win easily.
If GWB supporters want him reelected, they must vote and be sure all their friends vote.
You can be certain the other side will have their minions out in force on election day.

[eaglestar]

It’s time for those who haven’t voted yet to start doing so. Looks as if DU has gotten wind of this poll and the numbers are starting to change.
