Washington, DC, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- The latest bipartisan Battleground poll of likely voters nationwide showed President George W. Bush leading Democratic nominee John F. Kerry by 7 points. The poll, which is conducted jointly by the Democrat firm Lake Snell Perry and the Republican Tarrance Group, had Bush at 51 percent and Kerry at 44 percent in the final head-to-head general election ballot test conducted over four days beginning Sept. 27. Bush initially had a 3 point lead, 49 percent to 46 percent, in the four day rolling poll of 1,000 likely voters nationwide. Bush's lead increased to 50 percent while Kerry went up one point to 45 percent on Sept. 28. The Sept. 29-30 data had Bush at 51 percent and Kerry down 2 to 44 percent. Five percent said they were undecided each night the survey was in the field. The poll, which was conducted for The George Washington University, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent. The results are rolling, meaning 250 likely voters were asked on each day.

On "The McLaughlin Group" this weekend, popular columnist Eleanor Clift of "Newsweek" flatly predicted, perhaps hopefully, that her beloved John Edwards would knock "worn-out" Cheney out of serious contention in their "debate" set for Tuesday night.

Clift is so biased she would argue that the Expos are a better team than the Yankees if Kerry were pitching and Edwards were catching for the 'Spos.

No offense, but PLEASE don't re-post topics that have already been posted numerous times, especially if they're pre-debate polls...

Edwards knock out Cheney? Better odds that the forged memos used by CBS were created in 1972.
