Can you say TREEENNNND

Trend is your friend, as my trader friends used to tell me... I would be a little careful with this poll since looks like 1% of Kerry voters went to Nader over his lesbian comments. But then again, this 4% lead is within margin of error.

[Jedi Jake]

Lies. Lies. All lies. We all know Kerry won the three debates.

[West Coast Conservative]

Nope. Bush's 4% lead is outside the 3% margin of error.

W's Saturday numbers not quite as good as Thursday's or Friday's, but still very solid. It is clear from all the recent polls that he is now in the lead.

One big question remains: Is the lead large enough to overcome RAT fraud on election day?

[traderrob6]

W has most definately stopped Skerry's MO...may have reversed it, we shall see

[Uncle Vlad]

The striking thing about these numbers is that they were released over the weekend, when more Democrats tend to be home. Weekend polls tend to favor Democrats. Let's hope it continues to trend this way!

Why is that when I see these liberal rags showing Bush leading I feel that there is a diabolical motive? Am I paranoid or does anyone else get the same feeling?

Yes if Kerry has a good day and closes they will talk about the comeback kid crap. Thre day rolling are unstable.

GOP can't count on the Nader vote ... in '00 is collapsed on election day when the left had to decide between principle and the possibility of winning. I can see that happening again. Had Bush maintained his lead following the GOP convention and moved ahead, I think Kerry would have lost more votes to Nader, but if it's perceived as close come election day, Nader won't even get that 1%

Actually in truth Bush is leading by a larger number than this. The liberal media calls mostly democrats to see whom their voting for.
Question: How many of you have ever been called by one of these pollsters? I have never been called! Who is it they call??

Maybe a bit paranoid...maybe not. We all know what the Dummies are capable of so it stands to reason that any level headed Repub is going to look at anything they do with wary eye

I told my wife Wed. night GW would be ahead

by Monday, it's early. He won the debate

regardless of what any poll says.

[Cableguy]

"Bush's 4% lead is outside the 3% margin of error." This is incorrect. You need to apply MOE to both Bush and Kerry. So if MOE is 3, then Bush could be 53-47, and Kerry 49-43. In other words, Kerry could be 49, and Bush 47.

So while this is good news, don't get too excited as of yet.

hahaha the is so sweet

now the DUmmies are blasting every pollster that doesn't favor them

lol

[traderrob6]

Anyone been over to DU seeing what they have to say bout all this?
