I have created a temporary 'ping' list to many who had expressed interest in these 'Rep/Dem/Ind' poll breakdowns. If you wish to be added (or removed) from this 'ping' list, please place a reply on this thread and I will attempt to clean-up this list so as to not bother those who do not wish to read this type of poll analysis.

Hope this helps...

Thanks! Great stuff.

I wonder how Kerry will do when they get around to polling in Florida again.

Recent polls show the presidential election hanging in the proverbial balance, with George W. Bush making a dramatic gain on Vice President Al Gore last week. Gore seems to be again sneaking on top, with most poll results within the margin of error, so probably not very accurate.

Gore Pulls 10 Points Ahead in Newsweek Poll
September 2, 2000
In a new national presidential poll conducted by Newsweek Magazine,
Vice President Al Gore seems to have pulled substantially ahead of
George W. Bush, just as Bush launches a blitz television ad campaign
making attacks on Gore's credibility.

Newsweek Poll results, nation-wide (Aug. 30-31):
Al Gore 49%
George W. Bush 39%
Ralph Nader 3%
Pat Buchanan 1%

Other recent state polls show similar results:
Iowa Poll sponsored by the Des Moines Register (Aug. 23-30):

Gore Takes Large Lead in California's Field Poll

August 24, 2000
Al Gore has leapt ahead of George W. Bush among California voters in a post
Democratic Convention poll conducted in English and Spanish.

The new poll shows Gore-Lieberman leading Bush-Cheney by 50%-37%, with Ralph
Nader dropping from 7% to 4% and Pat Buchanan remaining at 2%.

Independent voters in California say that 35% will vote Democratic, 29% will
vote Republican, 18% will vote for Nader, and 4% for other candidates.





CNN-USA Today-Galllup Poll Shows Gore Ahead in Dead Heat
8/21/00
A new CNN-USA Today-Gallup Poll shows:

Al Gore 47%
George Bush 46%
Ralph Nader 3%
Pat Buchanan 2%

Basically this shows Al Gore's post-Democratic Convention
bounce to be solid, with him having recovered from an 11-17
point deficit to a statistical dead heat, which means that
the 4% margin of error could make the poll accurate or
inaccurate within 4% of the results.

Saturday's Newsweek poll showed:

Al Gore: 48%
George Bush 42%




August 18, 2000
Gore Leads in New NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll

Vice President Al Gore got his hoped-for bounce out of his nomination acceptance speech Thursday night at the Democratic Convention.

Today's NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll shows Al Gore leading George W. Bush by three points, which is about the same as the margin of error in most polls.

Overnight national poll results are:
Al Gore: 46%, George W. Bush: 43%.
The numbers also show that Gore achieved making himself a real
contender in the race, in which Bush had been favored by up to
16% in some polls prior to the Democratic Convention.





8/10/00
Public Policy Institute Poll
of California voters during Republican Convention
and before Gore's selection of Sen. Joseph Lieberman as vice presidential running mate.
Al Gore 40%
George W. Bush 37%
Ralph Nader 8%
Pat Buchanan 1%

Having "snooped" at your data, I propose a hypothesis:

Republicans are increasingly likely to respond to polls as they feel increasingly confident about a Bush victory.

I have no other explanation as to why Republicans account for an increasing percentage of a series of "random samples."

Non-response is a pollster's biggest problem, typically 50-90% these days. So if Republicans, who have been fed up with the media and pollsters and refused to answer their phones, now start answering to voice their support for Bush, then we might get the sort of results reported by ABC.

On the other hand, it might be all random error.
