Well, well , well, things are looking up!!!!

[The G Man]

Hokey smokes!

[KC_Conspirator]

That is quite a jump from the past month. I hope this holds true.

[Numbers Guy]

The most credible thing about this poll is the low number for Nader. I really don't see how Nader could end up with the 6-8% of the vote he's now listed as having in some polls. The electorate is too polarized for that.

[ambrose]

Interesting... Fox had been showing a remarkably static race up until now...

[Josh in PA]

It can't be.. The powers that be at Freeper-Pessimism-Know Everything-You Know Nothing-land says that the country is trending Kerry.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Great googly moogly! This seems way out of whack with the others.

[dc-zoo]

Now this is a poll I can agree with. Beats the hell out of the ABC poll and CNN poll.

[stillnoprotestsagainstmuslims]

Nader 3%..Wow, he`s almost President practically! Now I know why he is running!

[HitmanLV]

This really can't be right.

[Keith]

what I like is the way Bush is approaching 50%....if Bush comes out of the Republican convention anywhere near these numbers, Kerry is cooked.

[zencat]

Could shape up to be a W. landslide, but I'm campaigning like we're ten points down.

[Bahbah]

It appears that Kerry's numbers fall every time he actually gets out and campaigns. Hehehe

"This seems way out of whack with the others."

Assuming that you ignore the Harris poll for the same reason, which most people did. But now there are -two- polls showing similar results. That means neither can just be casually dismissed as statistical bumps anymore.

I've said it when Bush is up and I've said it when he's down--polls are all bogus.

[txrangerette]

Finally, someone posted this.

Thanks!

:o)

[ambrose]

yup - live by the poll, die by the poll..

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP!!!
