October 2, 2004--A Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 Likely Voters conducted Friday night found that 52% believe John Kerry "won" Thursday night's debate. Forty percent (40%) disagree and think George Bush emerged victorious.
Predictably, by overwhelming margins, Republicans and Democrats each thought their candidate won. Those not affiliated with either party gave the nod to Senator Kerry by a 63% to 24% margin.
Still, regardless of who they want to win, 53% of those surveyed believe George W. Bush will be re-elected. Thirty-two percent (32%) think Kerry will win. Coming out of the Republican National Convention, 52% expected a Bush victory while 38% thought the Kerry/Edwards team would win.
Ninety-one percent (91%) of Bush voters still expect their man to win. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of Kerry voters think the Democrats will win.
Six percent (6%) of voters say the debate changed their mind about how they will vote this November. This includes 3% who now say they will vote for Kerry, 2% for Bush, and 1% who are now undecided.
One interesting twist is that 64% of Kerry voters now say that Presidential Debates are very important. However, only 23% of Bush voters share that view.
No. You can get a CD of your voter checklist like anyone else can.
Thank you so much for the link to that Ultimate John Kerry Ad... I think that one is the best made to date!
On my way right now to forward to everyone I know :-)
Only on the internet. You should email a link to the ad to some friends who are leaning towards Kerry. I also intend to post links in appropriate threads on Free Republic.
It's difficult to continue smiling as Kerry lies and exaggerates... on and on....and on.
It's as if we are in one big classroom and Kerry is the kid who ingratiates himself the most with the teacher. He keeps making up stories about his exploits, about the great things he's done, and the kids know he is making it all up, but the teacher believes him.
Beautiful post.
As for some others, his team should have prepared him for the questions. There was not a single question that I couldn't have anticipated in both form and content.
He was defensive and not deft on his feet.
Now those of us who know better understand the difference between style and substance. Kerry won on style. But the average Joe sees and hears style. Substance in nuance. Bush lost his substance because he looked and acted as if he wasn't in command because of his style.
Let's hope he does better in the next debates.
Folks, the poster with the information on a reward for turning in fraudulent voters is "devolve". Search for him if you can. We need to Send Money to this group funding the reward for fingering the frauds.
"These results are based upon a survey of 3,000 Likely Voters conducted Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday night. As a result, just over one-third of the interviews were conducted following Thursday night's Presidential Debate. Results from last night's sample were similar to the preceding nights.
This might mean something. By the time the Friday survey got underway in the evening, the Democrats' media lackeys had been trumpeting "Kerry comeback" nonsense for close to 24 hours.
Rasmussen's post-debate survey says, "regardless of who they want to win, 53% of those surveyed believe George W. Bush will be re-elected. Thirty-two percent (32%) think Kerry will win. Coming out of the Republican National Convention, 52% expected a Bush victory while 38% thought the Kerry/Edwards team would win." http://snipurl.com/9hrx
So from the end of the GOP convention to the day after the debate, Bush's perceived chance of another winning a second term went from +14 to +21! This, of course, is not the same as candidate preference, but one would think that spread would have gone down, based on all the "Kerry comeback" hype.
One thing the debate did prove, Kerry is still lying and he still isn't telling us what he'd DO if elected.
GWB's handlers should have prepared him for this very thing... there was absolutely no excuse, no matter how justified, for his display of frustration... his frustration is what lost the debate for him... his answers for the most part (even w/o attacking Kerry--who did deserve to be attacked) were fine--but his demeanor was self-defeating... did Kerry beat GWB? no--GWB beat GWB...

And that our national security decisions would be made only with the permission of France.
My 21 year old college student daughter was pumped by Pres. Bush's performance, which she said had substance. She said anyone (Kerry) can be smooth, but if you listen to what he said, it made no sense. She also pointed out his penchant for deceit. She's withstanding the liberal assault pretty well, I'd say.
