Good news from Ohio.

Bush outside the MOE over Kerry. Kerry support is Kleenex.

Heard on Fox that Zogby has Kerry leading in Ohio and Kerry leading overall with 350 electoral votes to President Bush's 200+.

These polls, especially Zogby's are all over the map....

[GulliverSwift]

Bush's biggest threat isn't Kerry. It's bad news. Nobody likes Kerry. He's arrogant, filthy rich, has a long record of extremism, and is a bore to boot. No one who isn't an insane leftist would be a naturally inclined to vote for him.

"I'm more anti-Bush, and I'm not really that strong on Kerry," says Burel Eding of Toledo, who participated in the poll. "I feel we need a change. I supported Bush on the invasion in Afghanistan, but I don't think he's doing enough on the economy."

Huh? The economy is growing at its fastest pace in 20 years and this bozo doesn't think Bush is doing enough for the economy. More proof the Dems prey on ignorance.

The polls are really volatile actually, or can't get the science right this year. The problem is that the swing voters think both candidates are highly flawed. We need to try to ignore them absent really big moves, until after the conventions. Doing that at least will reduce the Rolaid consumption.

From a reliable org - Mason-Dixon.

Zog stretching the EC vote a bit isn't he? 350 plus 250+ is more than the 538 that's available.

OK. I'm locked in 45-45-10 until the jihadists hit and hit they will. Then we'll see if America is Chamberlainesque or Churchillian. I'm betting on Winston.

[Teplukin]

Thanks for the article. Further proof that Midwesterners are full of common sense. With all the anti-Bush sentiment I see around me, it is hard not to conclude that the North East has been take over by nincompoops, nitwits and dummkopfts.

[OpusatFR]

I probably have the numbers wrong, but the gist is that Zogby has Bush way behind Kerry on the electoral votes.

[demlosers]

Like I suspected...

[Coop]

I just hope this poll ever-so-briefly mutes some of the screeching and wailing about Bush losing re-election.

Then again, now we'll probably be hearing "Leading OH, MI and FL?!? Landslide, baby!!!" :-)

[jwalsh07]

Gotta run. Have a good weekend and remember the guys that make the poppies the old vets are selling at the malls are disabled vets and the bucks go to them. :-}

Later amigo.

Terrific news. I just don't see Ohio going in the Kerry column come November 2nd. Bush took it by (I think) 4 points in 2000. As bad as Gore sucked, I think he was still a better candidate compared with Kerry and had semi-incument status. Gore had that southern supposedly moderate thing going on like Clinton. Kerry is nothing but a Massachusetts liberal.

Same here in Missouri, Bush by 4 points in 2000. Don't see Kerry playing well here either. I'm campaigning my heart out every day to ensure Bush takes the Show-Me-State.

[Torie]

I course it is Winston rather than Neville. But the odds are against it happening. I hope my handicaping is right, as I am sure you do.

"Heard on Fox that Zogby has Kerry leading in Ohio and Kerry leading overall with 350 electoral votes to President Bush's 200+. "



Zogby is using INTERACTIVE polling technology to generate these results; that is, prospective pollees must visit his website and then vote on-line -- BOGUS BOGUS BOGUS!!!!

The pollster cited here is MASON-DIXON -- one of two or three LEGITIMATE pollsters still doing research in this country!


WE IN THE CINCY AREA WILL DELIVER OHIO FOR PRESIDENT BUSH! This poll indicates that we're doing what we need to do -- we're exceeding the vote totals for the Cleveland/Youngstown/Akron area by 6-10 percentage points!

[Keith]

It's really sad to read your post...not because you said it, but because it's true.

I hope you are right...Chamberlain would mean the beginning of the decline of a great nation...

[CzarNicky]

I have been telling people Ohio will not go for Kerry. I live in Cleveland and outside of "traditional" democrat supporters no one is for him.
