CBS News poll

I do not take much from that organization very seriously. But addressing it on it's face I would just say this. It is better than to be percieved as the underdog at this point in the election cycle.

[fqued]

Note Carefully:

1) article does not say when the poll was taken
2) article does not specify who was polled
3) article does not state demographic breakdown & party affiliation
4) article does not say number of people polled or margin of error.

So . . . if we can't evaluate it, it is essentially worthless.

[Consort]

Let's ignore all the polls until about July. Pass the word.

[eeriegeno]

CBS might be claiming these numbers BUT I find it hard to believe that the numbers are accurate. Most of the people who I talk with are opposed to Kerry as they are to acquiring a STD........

[finnman69]

wanna bet the Slimes puts this one above the fold front page?

I am concerned about Bush's standing. No, I do not think polls this early amount to much, but Bush has unquestionably tweaked a great number of people.

I went to a conservative rally today for Congressional Candidate Sonny Sardo in La Canada, California. Sonny is a great guy. He's bedrock material. Pro-Life, anti-illegal immigraion, against massive government spending, against same-sex marriages... on down the line this guy is a Freeper without even knowing it. As the local dignitaries took the platform to make speaches, each lamented a president that has had so much opportunity on issue after issue, only to make the wrong decisions or ignore the issue altogether.

I would like to take these folks to task for not supporting our president. Because I agree with them, I cannot. I can even go so far as to say that when I listen to them, I am so moved that I realize that I should not vote for the president this fall. None-the-less, I probably will.

George Bush has nobody to blame for his current situation, but himself.

Sardo talked about outsourcing, moving manufacturing jobs overseas, moving certain clerical jobs overseas, our current trade status with China... the guy echos my beliefs on this topic.

Folks, generally I wouldn't pay too much attention to these polls, but the fact is Bush's overall support is broad and about paper thin. He has essentially taken a dump on the California electoral vote by ignoring major problems the state is having to deal with.

I can't remember everything Sardo and his supporters said today. What I can tell you is these hard-core conservatives have had it with platitudes and vacuous actions at the top.

They are certainly not alone. I have approved of about 20% of what Bush has done. I would like to be a big ra ra ra man for him, but the truth is, I can't. If he can't draw me in, then I must face the fact that he has serious problems on both sides of the isle. What's comical is that he will most certainly take action over the next six months to appear MORE moderate in order to attract the left. This will grate me something fierce and push me to the very breaking point regarding ultimately pulling the lever for him.

I used to say I liked George Bush. I really did, and wanted to. At this time I have come to the conclusion that I cannot like a person who has sold out conservatism to the degree he has. I'm not going to spend my time trashing the president over the next eight months. I just wish he were the type of man I could get behind and support. I'd like to put my heart behind a good conservative man or woman. I just don't see one at this time.

Mr. President, this is most likely a partisan article. As partisan articles go, you should be able to dismiss it. I'd advise you not to dismiss this article Mr. President. You've got a mile wide gap to close, and I'm not talking with the left. That gap has closed immeasurably over the last four years. Frankly, I'm sick of it.

[not-an-ostrich]

A combination of propaganda being swallowed by that certain segment (devoid of independent thinking) citizens and the polls are skewered.

[linn37]

very little info on this poll,likely voters,registered voters or adults?

[Schattie]

It's hypo^H^H^H^ funny how all the freepers angrily deny negative W polls and gloat when W got a good poll.

[InvisibleChurch]

let kerry blow his wad... as long as he stays in the lead, the xxxillary can't join the race, then when it is too late, W turns on the steam and roars past the silly boy (though i'd rather xxxillary run so W could get her out of our lives for good)

[Constitutional Patriot]

"...(left wing) Americans continue to express doubts about the situation in Iraq, and point to the economy and jobs as the issues they (as left wing liberals) are most concerned about."

Shameless propaganda. Going back to the old communist tactic of telling the lie long enough until it becomes the truth.

[DLfromthedesert]

What's up with you and these polls? Do you want to see a creep like Kerry in the White House?

You sure appear gleeful predicting the ousting of our wonderful, courageous President.

Do you want to bow down before the UN? Do you want our freedoms or lack dictated by the French?

[epow]

Not time to panic yet folks, polls are meaningless at this time.

If I remember correctly, and that isn't guaranteed, Dud-kakis was leading Bush the 1st at about this point in the campaign season, and Walter Mondull was ahead of Ronaldo Magnus at one point early on. You do remember President Mondull and President Dud-kakis don't you?

The poll they take the 1st Tuesday in November is the one that counts, and a lot of water has to go under the proverbial bridge before then.

[Choose Ye This Day]

They're most concerned about the economy and jobs? Well, they had better start paying attention. Here's the truth that the lamestream media won't tell, and for some reason, the Bush campaign hasn't yet:

During Clinton's "Great Economy" back in 1996:
Unemployment was at 5.6%
Average wage was $11.82/hr.
Inflation was 3.3%

During George W. Bush's "miserable failure" economy of 2004:
Unemployment is at 5.6%
Average wage is $15.40/hr.
Inflation is 1.9%

In order for any of these polls to reflect what will actually happen once the President starts actively campaigning and debating (i.e. once he's really opened the war chest), you would have to poll people who actually know who the hell Kerry and Edwards are (other than that they're the "Democrat Candidate").

[longtermmemmory]

anything CBS reports has to be taken with a pound of salt. If these polls were reaaaaaly true they would be shouting them from the treetops.

As a Christian and a conservative, I will have to put a clothespin on my nose to vote for the RINO republican party and all those who now control it; they are following the left into communism and have abandoned the once conservative party platform. The Christian conservatives have watched for years hoping that another man who was a republican President would have the good sense to support the base of the party and not only promise but do what they said they were going to do. In my lifetime, I know of only one good President, Ronald Reagon, who tried always to do the things he promised and didn't make backroom deals or try to please the middle left rinos of this country. He was reelected in a landslide.
Perhaps those days are gone. Perhaps the rinos who control the once conservative republican party have been replaced by foolish rinos, it sure looks like it.

Did CBS say what the weather will be like on election day?
