Ciao!
Thanks for keeping this going! I look forward to your recaps every week.
Thanks, friend!
CLEVELAND (AP) — President Bush leads Democratic rival John Kerry in the key swing state of Ohio in a three-way matchup that includes independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader, a new poll shows. Republican Bush was at 47%, followed by Kerry at 41% and Nader at 3% among registered voters surveyed by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research for The Plain Dealer. Results were released late Saturday. Nine percent of voters were undecided. Bush's lead came although about half in the poll expressed disapproval of his handling of the economy, found to be the No. 1 issue among Ohio voters. The state is one of several in the region to lose manufacturing jobs under Bush, while Kerry has made the jobs issue central to his White House campaign. These latest results come two weeks after an American Research Group poll of 600 likely voters found Kerry had edged ahead of Bush in the state, 49% to 42%, with Nader at 2%. Bush won Ohio in 2000 by 4.4 percentage points. The Mason-Dixon Polling telephone survey of 1,500 registered voters was conducted May 20-25, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Tremendous work. I appreciate the dispassionate statistical analysis.
I can't beleive that Kerry is ahead in any poll on the economy. The stock market is above 10,000 (a nearly 3000 point gain since Jan of '02), unemployment is at 5.6%, which is a figure that the clinton campaign was bragging about in 1996 and a figure that was touted in all the 'mainstream' media outlets at that time as a remarkable achievement by clinton's administration. Kerry has said nothing about his economic platform other than he plans to raise taxes and somehow create 10 million jobs in 4 years. I have yet to hear a follow up question to kerry asking him how exactly he plans to do this by over taxing the very people who would create these jobs. I guess the short answer is that they will all be newly created government jobs from which no one can be fired no matter how incompetent. But hey, those evil rich people (as well as the rest of us) will be paying higher taxes to keep those government coffers full, so everything will be fine. Be sure to practice your arabic if ketchup boy somehow wins the election.
You know, you're some kind of whiz kid. I love this!
Thank-you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dales -- Suppose the election is a 269-269 tie & thrown into the House. This would be the newly elected 2005 House, as I understand it.
Should that happen, whom do you think would have the advantage, Bush or Kerry?
(Just a guess, I realize.)
Thanks
I want Bush to win by a landslide.
Kerry would be a disaster in the War on Terror!
I want to see the DemonicRats humilated!
Thanks again for all the hard work Dales.
I saw someone, John Gibson maybe, on Fox today interviewing ex-Senators Al D'mato and Torch. The interviewer said to Torch he knew how optimistic the Kerry people are. D'mato chimed in the President can still win the election.
What universer are they in? As far as I can see both FL and OH have made a turn for the president although OH is back in the toss up category. If Bush gets FL and OH, it is hard for me to find a combinnation of states that cause him to lose.
Since Dales "forgot" to include a question this week..allow me.....who does Hugh Hewitt, in his WorldNetDaily column, name as America's most astute analyst and commentator on all things related to polls.
I saw that also..if the Torch is the best they can do as a Kerry spokesman, they're in deep doo-doo...
I think we all know the answer to that one?
Good Work!
Could you add me to your ping list?
Thanks.
With Ohio, that puts Bush at 269.
In an election thrown to the house, each state gets one vote.
Bush by a wide margin.
Now I'm totally depressed. If the race is actually this close the media and the democRAT crooks will take it. Honest people have no chance any more.
