John F. Kerry: "Hey, that poll wasn't supposed to be there.
The ambulance? Bring it on!"
John F. Kerry: "Hey, I think the wheels came off my campaign. Even my
first choice for VP is attacking me. This train may not leave the station."
John F. Kerry: "Hey, how did my misfit advisors let this crash happen to me?
You know, I liked the Swift boats better. You felt invincible during sustained
absences of enemy fire. My guys took care of me. They would do anything to save
my rice-scared butt. Of course, he who pens the after-action reports writes history."

I heard on the radio (the radio station picks up CNN Headline news) about these polls, that yes, these polls is bad news for Kerry. Although they had a few things that they tried to put in some good news for Kerry, overall, it is bad news. And they even acknowledge that likely voters tend to be a positive for Republicans since they are better informed and more motivated. Really.
However, they also point out that, likely voters now, are not likely voters in November. Apparently Democrats have their ways of getting out their votes in November. This reasoning is why they don't always poll likely voters, and instead, poll registered voters. Of course, I guess that is true that the likely voters in November are different...after all, they don't poll dead people.
