Poll: Bush would narrowly beat Kerry in Florida
Last Update: 2/29/2004 10:33:06 AM
(Undated-AP) -- A new poll indicates President Bush would narrowly beat Massachusetts Senator John Kerry in Florida if the election were held today.
Bush holds a 47-42 percent edge in his re-election bid over Kerry, with a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points. Ten percent of voters are undecided.
Bush does better in a race with North Carolina Senator John Edwards, leading 49 percent to 41 percent.
While a lot of people aren't sure, more people think Bush is helped rather than hurt with Ralph Nader running as an independent.
The results are from a survey of 600 likely voters by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale and the Florida Times-Union of Jacksonville.

5% for Bush is narrow, 5% for Kerry is a landslide.

National polls make no sense when they're compared with the state poll results...

Do you think Ralph Nader's candidacy for President improves George W. Bush's chance to win this October? Gotta love that part. :)
To: ambrose
I like this one:
Generally speaking, are you better off today than you were four years ago?
43% of people said "I don't know, man- it's tricky you know?"
You'd think that would be a question most people could answer.
To: ambrose
I think I made it fit. What do you think (tagline)?

I agree. POTUS will carry Florida and every state in the South; even "Southern" California.

For whatever it's worth, the Florida Times-Union was my paper for years, and is extremely conservative. While polls this far out are questionable at best, it might not be advisable to dismiss it out of hand.
