These internal numbers look very good. I just wished the MSM would objectively report this poll. I think on November third the headlines will read, "Kerry wins in a landslide in Massachusetts!".
OBTW, did everyone notice this poll was conducted over the weekend. I've seen enough data to be convinced that weekend polls do not favor Republicans. I wonder why Gallup chose to poll then, instead of mid-week.
It was also reported last week that OPEC no longer has control over the price of oil - that China's absorption of the world's natural resources is trumping internal price controls.
We closed near $50. $60 will be here quickly once that barrier is broken. Just my opinion.
They have been rotating between weekend polls and midweek polls.
Maybe they polled COURAGE and his/her friends here on FR??
Could Kerry be the new comeback kid? Not a chance for a dork like him....ni slickster here. The Dems are getting set for Hillary 2008 and trying to bury poor old JohnnyBoy.
All his ranting and raving did last week was rev up his base. That is something he had to do six or eight months ago. For every liberal he energizes, he is turning off two moderates. I think he is running to save face at this point.
Bush moving up in the internals counter to the BS that Kerry's spokesman is spinning.
October is going to be real interesting.
I had to laugh when I stopped in a DUh a few minutes ago and encountered their "e-mail campaign" to the MSM to trash this poll's results. The DUmmies are Devastated. GOOD!
In each category--- the economy, the situation in Iraq, the handling of terrorism, foreign affairs--Bush's numbers are several points higher now than in August.
Terrorism and the Economy are voters' two biggest concerns in this election. Bush wins on the terrorism issue 61-34. Now, for the first time all summer, Bush also win on the economy, 51-45.
MSM will go with the "Bush losing momentum" story, obviously. But anyone who looks behind the headline will see that we're watching Dukakis/Mondale/McGovern all over again.
Yet Kerry's recent comments (and those of other Dems) seem to have increased their "attack" numbers as well; acc. to this poll, Dems are now seen as more "unfair" than the GOP, which further decreases Kerry's chances with swing voters. It's all good...
That said, we cannot let up - many an important contest has been lost because the team with the lead started to coast!
You mean KQQL? He/she isn't here anymore. Either got banned or voluntarily had their account shut down.
Well sure enough. Perhaps this poll would be more accurately compared to their Sept 3-5 poll than the Sept 13-15 poll. In that case it should reflect a +1 gain for Bush among likely voters and a +12 gain among registered voters.
47% of all voters, who are 90% of Bush's voters.
Bush has 47% of the electorate wrapped up, and 5% more leaning his way.
sKerry has 37% of the electorate wrapped up, and 7% more leaning his way.
4% undecided.
To win, Kerry needs all of his voters, all the undecideds, and 2 of 5 Bush leaners, +1.
The right price for oil is what the market demands.
37+7+5 = 49. 49 < 50.
You are forgetting the 4% undecided.
the reason i believe the registered and national adult number has grown even greater than the likely is that my little "communist" brother saw kerry on david letterman and thinks he is the biggest idiot. He said he would never vote for him. That is good news.
