DUBYA STORMS TO 6-PT. LEAD

By STEFAN C. FRIEDMAN

October 17, 2004 -- President Bush has surged to a 6-point lead over Sen. John Kerry, the largest edge the president has enjoyed since his much-maligned performance in the first debate, according to a poll of likely voters released yesterday.

Fueled largely by a solid advantage among women, Bush leads Kerry 50 percent to 44 percent, the Newsweek poll found.

After squandering an 11-point lead during the first debate, Bush managed to regain his footing in the final two head-to-head showdowns, according to the survey.

10% is needed to overcome the fraud, I agree.

We gotta act like we're down, by a lot.

Bush leads with women and Kerry leads with men?
This is convoluted, but I'll take it.

6% lead from a Newsweak poll.

Isn't this the poll that they said that Bush was only slightly ahead of Kerry?

I don't know if it's possible, barring some extraordinary news for W or some cataclysmic event for Kerry, in this era, polarized electorate and MSM being over-and-beyond in the tank for Kerry, for W to get anywhere near a 10-point lead. Unfortunately, the way I see it, these are not the days of Nixon and Reagan, where enough people had sense.

Anyhow, even if W had a 20-point lead, I still would be nervous. 2 weeks is an eternity in politics, and I don't trust the other side as far as I could throw a house. God knows what they'll be up to.

As for this poll and others, while it's very nice to see, I'm a bit suspicious--how do we know they're not up to their old tricks again and are setting W up so that in the next few days or next week, will show him plummeting and Kerry as the "comeback" once again? I wouldn't put anything past them.

"Bush leads with women and Kerry leads with men?"

Not possible.

Kerry might lead with males, but never men.

There is a real difference.

Of course, I don't see this mentioned on Yahoo's web page, though when Kerry was supposedly up by 1-2%, it was posted within minutes.

Maybe it's too early in the AM, but I doubt it.

Maybe it's too early in the AM for them to post it yet, but I doubt it.

When I was in the Army, we would call that "stand off".
