This is the daily tracking poll that had Bush up by 5 or 6 a few days ago only to get close. We all thought that Kerry had a day of unusually good polling. We've been waiting for that day to drop. We've heard that Bush had two better days of polling from insiders so we're waiting for both of those days to show up in tracking. Seems like one better day has shown up for Bush, doubt if the good day for Kerry has dropped yet, but I'm not sure about that last point.
Thank you for clarifying things. My head was spinning there for a minute but I think I am back to normal. Probably a good time to take the dog for a walk and get some of my nerves calmed down.
I think Kerry had two good days of polling on Monday & Tuesday. That was because President Bush got bashed in the media all weekend for his "horrible" debate performance the prior Thursday.
Remember, fluctuations in polls are often due to stupid voters who waffle back and forth depending on the prevailing spin. Bush's debate performance itself wasn't enough to change the polls. He wasn't great in that debate but he wasn't horrible, either. So polling on Friday & Saturday didn't show much change, if any.
But by Monday all the sheeple had had it brainwashed into them that Bush's debate performance was the worst in history while Kerry supposedly proved himself to be a genius. It was then that Kerry rose for a couple of days in the polls. By Wednesday those same sheeple were starting to forget the brainwashing, plus Cheney's performance was so great that the media couldn't spin it away, so Kerry started to recede.
The bad news is that sheeple will probably be the questioners at tonight's town hall debate.
