DRUDGE: NEWSWEEK POLL: BUSH LEAD GONE (Registered voters, not likely voters polled)

Drudge ^ | 10/02/04 | DRUDGE REPORT

[Squantos]

I just stumbled into a show called empire of sorrow on "link" network (channel 375 on Direct TV service). This show is pure BS about current administration. The liberal marxist sh*t 'n shineola show network per se.....

Now this flick makes Michael Moores pile look small......

I thought Bush did ok on the first debate. If you listened to what they were saying and not how they were saying, Bush beat Kerry.

Kerry made several mistakes and even contradicted himself during the debate. For example, was the Iraq war a mistake or not? Or, Why should we be unilateral with North Korea but not with Iraq? And what did he mean by "Global Test?"

Bush and co. are hammering him about it now and people will soon fear the phrase "Global Test."

So, Kerry won on style, but Bush will be beating Kerry over the head with what Kerry said for the next week.

And what can Kerry use from the debate that Bush said? Nothing...

Thank you kindly.

Look specifically at the Pacific Time Zone: California, Oregon and Washington voters. Get real here, all three of these are heavy Democratic States with large groups of Independents that tend to vote Democratic on the National tickets.

Another way of looking at that

If this poll was done in those heavily Dem States .. it ain't good for Kerry

[Scenic Sounds]

For four years I've been hearing that this will be a very close election. A month or so ago, I saw pollsters say that Kerry had a lock - it was his election to lose. In September, I heard some of the same pollsters say the same thing about Bush.

Maybe, like people have been saying for four years, this will be a close election. Maybe it won't. The only thing that we know for sure right now is that nobody knows what's going to happen.

So, what point is there in worrying? Just make sure you vote!!! ;-)

FR has been infested lately. The whole place. It's really hard to tell anymore between some of the newbies and the rest.

even his father was a good debater. GHW didn't show up for the 1992 election but in 1988 he was merciless against Dukakis.

When I took Biology debating wasn't one of those things that had anything to do with genes...widow's pick, attached or unnattached earlobes and the ability to roll one's tongue (among others), yes, but not debating.

[Rebelbase]

I think the whole concept of "undecided" in this particular election at this date is a moot point.

Unless you are a complete idiot you already know who you are going to vote for and even if you are an idiot you either like Bush or hate him. There is no middle ground.

Even if someone claims to be "undecided" they are lying to themselves. There has been too much publicity up to this point for anyone to have not given it a thought and drawn their own conclusions.

[zarf]

Yeah, the reaction here on FR is a riot. Total panic!! LOL!

Anyone who doesn't think the MSM wants to create illusion of a horse race is crazy. It's about ratings and advertising......period.

In the end this is good....there was too much crowing going on and now maybe the Pubs will get back to business.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>1980 Carter

Carter won the only debate with Reagan?

IIRC, that only debate between Carter and Reagan turned things towards The Gipper. At least in the Gallup poll of the day.

Thank you as well. I feel comfortable here. I'm glad I finally found a place to call home.

After the way the media is latching onto Kerry after the debates I was prepared for Bush to slip some, but something's screwy with the results:

The poll says they interviewed 391 Republicans, 300 Democrats and 270 independents.

They then say that Bush has the support of 93% of the Republicans (364 respondants), 7% of the Democrats (21 respondants), and 39% of the independents (105 respondants). Add them together and Bush ends up with 490 of the possible 961 votes, or 51% of the total respondants.

Kerry, meanwhile, ends up with 87% of his party's vote, or 261 respondants, he gets 4% of the Republican vote, or 16 respondants, and 45% of the independent vote, or 122 votes for that group. Add them all up and Kerry ends up with the support of 399 of those polled or just under 42% of the total number of respondants.

So if you apply the total percentages of the party vote that each candidate receives in this poll and multiple it against the number of respondants by party affiliation then Bush is actually up 50%-42%.

[queenkathy]

thanks ... I needed that.

[small voice in the wilderness]

For what it is worth: I just saw "The Beltway Boys" on Fox and they scored the electoral college race something like 344-194 for Bush.

Please don't sully this forum with good news. The doomed villagers have their torches lit, and there's no turning back!

[nmh]

"Bush will need a 5-7% lead to overcome the voter fraud."

Agree!

Yep. While they've done away with some of the worst such as KQQL and POA2, we still have churchillbuff and disCOURAGE spewing their garbage as well as many of the newer trolls.

[Rebelbase]

BTW, my last reply to you was generic, none of the "you" were pointed in your direction! :-)

[Osage Orange]

So...Bub, have you anything to say in rebuttal?

As they say, either putup or shutup. You've had plenty of replies...and nary a peep out of ya...!!

FWIW-

I am not going to come back here anymore, because honestly people are depressing me and that is not inspiring me to go vote.

Other people should not be your inspiration to vote, you just DO IT!
