I recall a certain OBI-WAN wanting to see something along these lines, no? :)

Now that they have done their best to despirit potential conservative voters it is time to save the reliability of their poll.

They now have to tighten the numbers so that when the elections are over and the Rats don't win majority in the House or Senate they have an out while explaining their past slanted polling results. The MSM will just claim that the undecideds went with Republicans because of no alternative plans with the Rats.

We're tied. 6% is the customary oversample for Demos. We're going to kick their butts on Tuesday.

They may have oversampled Dems by 10-15%. Note that the poll took place partially on the weekend,...the time that the overwhelming number of respondents are Dems.

Seems to me 51-45 in politics is a pretty good whooping, but whatever. It's not like it changes how i vote.

"Republicans close in on generic ballot. (WashPost/ABC: Dems-51 Repubs-45 among LV)."

ROFLMAO!!!!

The media does the quick pre-election "ROWBACK" once again.
This number look more real and suggest what race-by-race polls indicated.

Will they admit it wasn't that bad to start with?... or will John Kerry become the Democrats' scapegoat.

I'd like to know the internals, ie, GOP support, Dem support, indie support, and intended turnout ... only then can you tell the real message.

OR ... the GOP voters JUST YANKED THE CHAIN OF THE GOP LEADERSHIP AND THE MEDIA ... telling our own leadership "shape up" before giving them solid support numbers, and telling the media "f888 off, we dont need to tell you who we are supporting".

Some things don't add up. 70% say they are highly like to vote, but only 80% say they are registered at present address.


905. Are you registered to vote at your present address, or not?

Yes No No opinion

Jeez, not again! The very same thing happened in 2002 and 2004. What a coincidence!

Also weird is the age distribution:

Q910. What is your age?


18-29 21
30-39 16
40-49 23
50-64 24
65+ 17
