Good thing Republicans, conservatives and Americans get to vote or I would be worried.

Why does Gallup continue to poll on weekends which automatically makes their poll worthless?

[Galtoid]

Weekend poll. Need I say more?
Totally unreliable.
Republicans have lives and don't answer pollsters on weekends. Democrats are sitting home in front of the TV drinking beer all day long.

Looks like kerry's approval is going down. In the last Gallup poll before this one he was up by 12 points.

And this poll comes after the super tuesday hype.

As a reference Hart was ahead of Reagan by 9 points on March 9th, 1984.

Gallup's Survey Gives Hart 9-Point Lead Over Reagan

[Patrick1]

And another thing!

In registered voters it is a 5% lead for F***in Kerry which means they are over sampling Democrats.

The purpose of the poll is to create a story that Bush is in trouble when in fact he isn't.

SOSDD.

[jwalsh07]

The poll is garbage, it has Kerry doing significantly better among likely voters than all voters nationally.

My word, the day that democrat leaners are more likely to vote than conservative leaners will be one helluva day.

They are ignoring the primary non turnout and using the specail sauce to accrue to democrat turnout.

Gallup has gone political.

[Mark Felton]

Why should any Constitutional Conservative support an administration with programs such as this: FEC Moves to Regulate Groups Opposing Bush

[Galtoid]

Furthermore, a poll with a M/E of more than 3 is BS.
That 5 +/- says it all.
However, Bush does need to get this momentum of Kerry's quashed now, or he has a long hot summer ahead of him.

[Prodigal Son]

LOL. I love these polls. Let the liberals get worked up in a tizzy about Kerry. They're going to fall even harder in November.

[T.Smith]

They don't know what they're talking about. I polled myself earlier in the day and the Libertarian candidate won in a landslide. Bush was a close second, though.

[Mark Felton]

"The purpose of the poll is to create a story that Bush is in trouble when in fact he isn't. "

How do you know?

[dalebert]

USA TODAY CNN??????????? What do you expect. CNN thinks people in this country still watch them.

[Howie66]

It's far too early to worry about this. There is plenty of time for Kerry to have Ted Kennedy chauffer him across a bridge.

[Patrick1]

Because a poll in March is designed to create a story. Especially one that goes against all other current national surveys.

It is designed to give Bill Schneider something to do.
