I am getting a little edgy now that many polls are showing Kerry going ahead on the national level and in some swing states. After that flop of a convention, I was pretty confident that things were turning out alright. Now in August, which is historically the GOP worst polling month due to Republicans being on vacation or taking their kids to college, I hoped that Bush could keep things close until the convention, but it may not be that way. Should I be worried some 80+ days until the election.
daily polling is an abomination during summer.
We've had one convention and no repub convetion - normally there were two conventions already. That will skew polls. There have been no debates. There has been a mass of 527 advertising and very little RNC advertising.
For those sweating this, remember the lib press mantra last year "people don't start paying attention until after labor day". . But now that bush / kerry are neck and neck, they want to make it seem like mid summer polling is indicative of voter turnout on november 2nd.
