I think the poll you're referring to was the USA Today/Gallup poll which had some curious data. It had 24% of the conservatives voting for Kerry, and that Bush only had a 5 point lead overall in the southern states. What a boatload of crap! That's why I'm telling all of you that if you obsess over every single poll out there it's gonna drive you crazy.
It was even more curious than that. Kerry led with those with post graduate degrees. Bush had a lead in every other category of education and Bush was behind overall by a point. Lot of pinheads in that poll. :-}

Amen to that. Poll fatigue is getting bad.
Not only do I think Gallup is playing with their numbers a bit, probably in response to the Moveon.org attack, but like I said earlier, Rats are claiming to be Republican/Conservative and then saying they're going to vote for Kerry.
Perhaps the Dems are "seminar pollees", lying to the Polsters just as "seminar callers" try to worm their way into Rush and Hannity talk shows. We've all heard them...."I've been a long term Republican/Conservative, but my mind has been changed since Bush has been in office, blah, blah, blah....". It may be a massive ploy to skew the polls by the DNC. Perhaps just another technique developed since Florida 2000.
Already that's suspect--there's NO way Bush is anywhere near up only a 5 point average in the South (would be just like saying Kerry is up on average 5 points in the NE and Western Seaboard). As for the conservatives, that # is hogwash--W's base is rock solid, he has well over 90% of it intact.
