How come Daily Thoughts has Bush with a 3 point lead in Ohio, but in the slight Kerry column?

Just keep doing what you're doing. You have been about two weeks ahead of every trend that the clueless press eventually gets around to reporting.

ECB should be on everyone's must read list.

It's ok. I figure that within two weeks, the race is going to have changed and all of a sudden the newer Freepers (who don't know me) will suddenly love me, and the liberals who visit my site will be calling me a hack.

:-)

Hey I like your site! Whats the methodology u use to determine what goes in which column? I was wondering because u have Ohio as a slight Kerry, even though you posted Bush up by,three I think it was.

Well, there are a few options here.

One, you could go to the site, click the Ohio link (or Ohio on the state map) and read the reasons, read the about page, read the FAQ, and learn how I do things, or you could hope that I happen by to explain my decision.

Here I am!

The most recent Ohio poll was by Strategic Vision. Now I like Strategic Vision very much. They are a firm normally associated with Republican candidates, and usually partisan company polls need to be taken with a grain of salt, but so far this year their polls have been showing pretty much what everyone else has been showing. Still, it is generally a bad idea to base decisions on where a state is going solely on the results from a company associated with one of the parties. The safer approach is to keep their polls in mind, but wait for another poll by another company to confirm the results.

If you take out the Strategic Vision polling, then the last four Ohio polls, by the University of Cincinnati, Gallup, American Research Group, and Rasmussen all show Kerry up very slightly. Hence, the designation of the state as having a "slight advantage for Kerry".

When another poll comes out verifying that Bush has moved ahead in Ohio, it will be slid over to Bush's side. No worries. Thanks!

The guy from Daly Thoughts is a fellow freeper. He's got a very specific methodology that he has to follow, which is why there are states that will probably go Bush that are still in the toss-up or Kerry bin. He usually won't move a state for an outlying poll if it looks like it might be an anomoly. He's definately not trying to spin this for Kerry.

"I don't think it's conservative."

He is a conservative.

From the FAQ section of his web site:

"I am a partisan conservative. I don't attempt to be unbiased in my blog comments. I do attempt (and I think I succeed) in being objective in the poll analyses, though. I do not think it benefits my side to read sunshine into polls, nor does it benefit my side to read gloom and doom into them. The best for all involved is to just give them straight."

Yikes, why the dive in the last day? The raw data doesn't reflect what the graph says for today. Bush at .542 ave after close 9/01/04 COB.
