Reuters ^ | 10/12/04

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) bounced back into a tie with Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) one day before their final debate, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Tuesday.

Bush gained three points on the Massachusetts senator to move into a 45-45 percent dead heat in the latest three-day tracking poll of the White House campaign.

Kerry's "bounce" from the first debate had evaporated prior to the second debate on Friday. The Reuters/Zogby polls at the end of this week should be iteresting once they start reflecting W's win last Friday and Kerry's "nuanced nuisance nonsense."

Suicide watch at DU.

Somehow, that phrase is sweeter than 'ice cream and cake.'

There is no way a "reliable" pollster can stand on a 3 point change either way in the face of no major event. This is nuts! Rhetorical question-"Will this make as much of a spach on the MSM as yesterday's results"? We all know that answer.

Good grief! Zog is ladling the sauce on pretty thick. I think that the polls this year are completely worthless because they fail to reflect the changes caused to the electorate by 9/11.

The only bounce that Kerry could get anywhere is if he fell down on his Hair Helmut.

This is the Zogby poll. I don't care what is "bogus" and what isn't ... as long as they show our guy winning. It will only help to depress Dem turnout and give us a chance at the 3rd GOP Tsunami in 10 years.

"I think that the polls this year are completely worthless because they fail to reflect the changes caused to the electorate by 9/11."

That is the effect the MSM is trying to hide. I call it the "avalanche".

The internals of these polls are based on turnout from the 2000 election rather than actually gauging the electorate as to where they are now. As a result, I sense that traditional democrats and indys are leaning to the right much more than the way they are being reflected in the polls. Garbage in, garbage out.

Bounce this. One of the most disagreeable aspects of Kerry's candidacy is his choice of running mate. Do the Democrats actually think that Edwards would make a president in the scenario of VP running for office once Kerry is out or completes (God forbid) two terms? Edwards is more of a potted plant than Gore ever was!

What bounce are they talking about?????? Bush has had the lead in different polls. I think these pollsters are high on something.

Dick Morris said what you are saying that Lurch's current stance on the war is going to cost him big amongst his own party.

The polls are unreliable because there are too many hands in the soup and because they do not ask questions designed to really address issues. They permit too much subjective interpretation.
