Financial News/ Yahoo ^ | September 4, 2004 | Newsweek Press Release

[rintense]

Huh. I thought that number would be much higher.

[Drango]

So? 27% think Clinton didn't get a Lewinsky from Monica.

[marty60]

So what. They're true.

[kcar]

27%, huh? Sounds like 60% of the Rats. No surprise there.

[Doctor Raoul]

THis press release is from Newsweek, where Evan Thomas gave Matt Drudge his big break in journalism and made Drudge a Super Star.

1,000% more Americans know who Drudge is when compared to the number of Americans who know who Evan Thomas is.

***In comparing the two presidential candidates, more registered voters think President Bush has strong leadership qualities than Kerry (65% vs. 47%), is more honest and ethical (62% vs. 47%), says what he believes and not just what people want to hear (66% vs. 42%), would trust him to make the right decisions during an international crisis (57% vs. 44%), shares their values (54% vs. 42%), and is personally likeable (67% vs. 59%). In addition, more registered voters think President Bush would do a better job than Sen. Kerry on various issues: terrorism and homeland security (60% vs. 32%), the situation in Iraq (55% vs. 37%), foreign policy (54% vs. 38%), taxes (52% vs. 38%), economy (49% vs. 43%), education (48% vs. 42%), and gay marriage (44% vs. 36%). More people say Sen. Kerry would do a better job than President Bush on healthcare, including Medicare (45% vs. 43%) and the environment (50% vs. 36%). ***

[roylene]

Well, that confirms it for me..Kerry will get 27% of the vote in the election, with W getting all the rest.

[OneTimeLurker]

IT'S ALL OVER!!!! START PLANNING FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS!!!!

[don-o]

Questions like this (Bush behind the Swifties) make me nuts. My question is what basis do the respondents have for their opinion?

The answer to that is Democrat Perty talking points. What is the basis for the Democrat Party talking points?

The thin air from which they made it up.

"Immediately following the Republican National Convention in New York, the latest Newsweek Poll shows that, in a two-way presidential trial heat, the Bush/Cheney ticket would win over a Kerry/Edwards ticket by 54 percent vs. 43 percent among registered voters."

has there been a Newsweak poll that I haven't seen. I saw a Time poll that had similar numbers.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I think I'm going to quit my job and get into the con-man business. If 27 percent of the people are that stupid, it shouldn't take too long to make a million.

[mylife]

So 27% have no comprehension of honor.

They cannot fathom the resentment that the swiftees feel.

They cannot comprehend how these men could of their own volition put there entire being on the line to STOP KERRY!!

[AlexW]

Anytime I see any type of poll regarding something political, I always expect 30% that reflects the idiots in this country, aka, moronic Democraps.

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

No question about Kewwy's behavior and statements in 71-72? And do these polling samples include people who have appeared in Leno's Street Walking sketches?

[HamiltonJay]

These are the same 20some percent of the electorate who "STRONGLY SUPPORT" Kerry... all sane and rational Americans understand someone can fight for the same things without being directed by others.

[ChocChipCookie]

This 27% makes up Kerry's hardcore, hard left support. No surprise.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I see it as, 73% of the American people can see through all the LIBERAL media spin and Kerry hype.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

This 27% makes up Kerry's hardcore, hard left support. No surprise.

So, that means they will lie and excuse him anything. Which leads to the conclusion that no one believes Kerry's ravings about Bush being behind the ads.

[wildbill]

Remember that some of those 27% may think its a GOOD thing if the Bush campaign is behind the ads.
