Not only that. The ONLY way CNN/Gallup could get to a tie was by assigning ALL the undecideds to Kerry. Among likey voters the result was 49% Bush 47% Kerry.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/31/poll.sunday/index.html

"pervious elections, the Gallup organization attempted to estimate how the undecideds would vote Tuesday.

The result was a tie of 49 percent each for Bush and Kerry, with 1 percent for Nader and 1 percent for other candidates."

I'm also not sure that these numbers reflect what many think will be a mild surge in W's favor as a result of the unease from the bin Laden tape.

imagine if you were a Kerry supporter.

I just can't in spite of my best attempts.

I really don't see Bush taking Hawaii, but at the same time, Kerry is extremely unappealing to Hawaiians -- couldn't be more opposite than the Hawaiian people (I'm not a Hawaiian, by the way).

I look forward to the concession speech we never received last election.

I recall several polls prior to the 2000 election that had W up. I also thought we were going to win with 340EVs. Too many similarities to make me feel confident.

I know how energized our base is this election...I'm wondering about the other side's parsites?

This is the most important election in my lifetime IMO. For the first time in my life the United Nations and Western Europe has gone from a distraction to a concern. I'm afraid that voters are looking at our disfavor among them as a reason to vote for Kerry.

They will appease the Muslim vermin like they did Hitler in the 30s...40 million+ died. I'm concerned about the Sweden refernce in OBL tape....liberals may key on it.

If we pull a Spain...our lives will change forever.

The CNN/Gallup/USA Today poll wasn't great news, but it was good. Bush is ahead 2 points and most importantly he has a 51% approval rating. No president has EVER lost with an approval rating of 50% or higher in the last Gallup poll. And according the the poll:

Thirty-one percent of likely voters listed terrorism as their top issue — a result that may be favorable to the president. It was followed by the situation in Iraq at 28%, the economy at 27% and health care at 12%. Voters indicated they felt Bush would perform better on terrorism and the situation in Iraq, and Kerry would perform better on the economy.

I'm just ignoring their state polls, even thought they give Bush 270 ECV.

Indeed. Things seem to be turning for wonderful Monday news if anyone on cable or the networks bother to report it. Tonight even the Albuquerque Journal, the largest newspaper (and liberal), endorsed George Bush!! New Mexico will go to Bush if we can get the folks in Dona Ana County from selectively finding missing ballots.

Thank you West Coast Conservative. If we get thru this, we all need to pounce on the Kerry-media for keeping him alive.

"I understand Kofi and the gang have something planned."

If you think Americans are going to vote based on what Kofi thinks, you are sadly mistaken.
We have had too many "October" surprises from the Buash-haters already (like the NYT bomb lies).
All President Bush's numbers dis were to go right up!

The RATS have cried "wolf" too many times. NO one is paying any attention to them now. Its over guys.
Kerry loses.

The hand-wringing over voter fraud by some is ridiculous IMO. The campaigns know who a good portion of the phony voters are, and if necessary to win, will challenge them. Enough of the folks are already caught and fraud can only go so far.

Forgot to add the Battleground Poll: Bush leads 49-46.

Nice.

They have been extremely consistent this year.

Someone said they were way off in 2000, but hopefully they are good this year.

BTW, they were almost exactly spot-on in 1992 and 1996.

It seems the DUI took out many pollsters in 2000 because the effect was delayed a bit.

People are underestimating the "odds" factor of having 10+ national polls ALL having Bush in the lead or tied. I think he's up a solid 3-4 points.

One point lead in the final minute and the other team with the ball. The game doesn’t get any better than that. This is when the game is the most fun and the metal of a person is tested. That is when you need to know you are going to win and when the game is won. The election is perhaps close and perhaps not?? Can we really poll in a post 911 world?? Will the Bush voters actually answer the phones or are there voters like me who won’t answer a call that is not recognized? Do they answer a pollster truthfully and admit that they are afraid of the terrorist or do they just say they haven’t decided. We will find out tomorrow but all we know is right now the score is 0-0 with GW having a solid base in the South.

The best thing to do today is to ignore the Stone-age press and the polls and just go about your business. It is just another day and whatever happens tomorrow will happen. Do everything you can to get the votes in and let the people decide what the outcome is. There is still no doubt in my mind that GW is going to win and we will see the strength of the silent majority.

The major key to this vote is whether the Blacks are going to vote for Yaawn or are they staying home this time?? These polls are not picking up turnout from who or who for. If they do not vote in large numbers and in 95% then the election will be over in short order in states like PA, MI and OH along with FL. This is a very likely scenario.

One problem we political hounds have is that we live and die by the polls. These polls are all within the margin of error and likely the margin is an exaggeration. The calls that I make are extremely positive and large percentages are voting late because they don’t trust the counters. Look for a late surge for GW.

We are going to witness one of the greatest elections of all times. Ignore the press, ignore the polls because nobody can predict this. Only get out and vote and the Lord will carry the day. Seek comfort today and sleep well tonight because in the end the only thing you can do is pray for this comfort and the wisdom of our people.

Pray for W and Our Election
