Note the post above this one cites a new Washington Post tracking poll number. The PREZ leads kerry 51 to 45!!! Woooooo Hoooooo! CBS's new poll has Bush ahead 48 to 45. I think that the MSM has been trying to push kerry's numbers up, but America has finally gotten to know kerry (the traitorous bastard)!

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

This is the point that is missed by many. All the rules have changed.

I was in a group counseling corporate types in the weeks after 911. The one point I heard was made from those who had came here from other nations to work. For the first time, the safety they perceived from being in the US had been shattered.

With Mr. Bush we have someone who says what he means and means what he says. There have been no more attacks here since, and we have been chasing them on foreign soil.

We know from both men what they will do if in office, for we have their records to examine.

Post 911, Kerry is an empty suit.

How many of us reflected during the weeks just after 911 about how it could have been with Mr. Gore in office. I have to believe that many will come out and vote their concern for security.

Remember that phrase in our Constitution - "Provide for the common defense"; it is all of our responsibilities to vote to see that the common defense of this nation is upheld.

" That is the effect the MSM is trying to hide."

Or more note worthy, portray as somehow valid.

IMHO ... it is the objective of the MSM to lull all into thinking this is a close and competitive race.

-"Will this make as much of a spach on the MSM as yesterday's results"? We all know that answer.

Yes we do. You need look no farther than the front page headline in today's USA Today.

I disagree, most people have completely forgotten about 9/11.

I wonder the same thing! Wasnt Kerry up by 3 less than 24 hours ago?? So we are to believe millions of people are changing their minds THAT rapidly? I don't buy it.

Yesterday the schizoid Chris Matthews was saying that Kerry had the momentum and quoted ZogBS's poll as his source. He did not pay much attention to the WP/ABC poll showing Bush ahead by 5+ points. I said yesterday that ZogBS's 3 point Kerry lead was only statistical noise and wishful thinking. Now we know that Zogby must have become worried about being the only outlier there and quickly re-tooled his poll. If Bush does well in the debate, expect a 5-7 point lead for the Presidentleading to the final weekend (and fasten your seatbelt because the Dems dirty tricks will work overtime Sat and Sun to hurt Bush)

Que Viva Bush!!!

Yep. I've been saying for a long time that the voting demographic that I refer to as "9/11 Democrats" is flying right under the MSM radar. You see how even in HOLLYWOOD you have hardcore liberals (like Ron Silver and one of the Baldwin brothers for crying out loud!) coming out in support of Bush. You can just imagine the impact on historically Democratic Joe Sixpack.

Anyone else noticed how eerily silent every democratic politician is Washington is about the Kerry candidacy? Teddy has bloviated some, but I can't recall any other endorsements. I can see why those running for reelection would be silent, but the others you would think would back their candidate.

I suspect that they are walking on egg shells attempting to avoid likely collateral damage from supporting Kerry if (correction, when) he tanks on 2 NOV.

3 point swing in one day? Never happens absent a major event. As someone said above: Zogby stayed up late doing dome serious retooling.

Think anybody in the MSM will admit their call of a tie in the second debate was ludicrous given the movement in the polls?

"I disagree, most people have completely forgotten about 9/11."

Should you know any "people have completely forgotten about 9/11", send me your email address (via Free Republic mail) and I will be only to happy to send you the Armstong beheading vidio.

One look at that will tell anyone who views it just what this war is all about.

As retired police officer, who has seen more than my share of violence and it's aftermath, I can assure you it is the most horrific thing one could view.

We all have seen the WTC footage. Perhaps we all should see Armstrong in his last few agonizing moments of life.

Forget? Not in this lifetime!

None of this will matter come Nov. 2. Bush has all but won. Even if he loses OH and NH, he will definitely win WI and NM for an even 270. Kerry must win OH PLUS NH, and then add either WI or NM to win. He can win neither of the latter two, however, since both WI and NM are organized for Bush down to the last precinct. Bush is running well in both states. Kerry is toast.

Edwards is more of a potted plant than Gore ever was!

But Edwards has nicer hair.

Bush's debate performance fully reflected in this poll. No he has the chance to gain momentum and put Kerry away tomorrow. Sort of like Deuce in tennis.

Ugh ... wrong poll!

"This was the first poll conducted entirely after Friday's debate."

My bad.
