Before we beleive polls that we disbeleive when they look good for Kerry, let's wonder why these leftstream media types arent distorting the results in their favor as they have done before. Could they be trying to inspire overconfidence? We should assume Bush is behind, just in case and not relax.

If they were trying to distort, they're doing a poor job of getting this out to the electorate.

The Gallup poll came out noon on Sunday and it is barely making it's way into to print media. It may be getting some coverage on the air.

I'm going to miss Terry after November 3rd. He is a great source of incredibly stupid commentary.

According to the MSM, Bush lost all three debates.

According to the polls he has been going up since the 2nd one.

/sarcasm

Oh who do I believe is telling the trurh?

You know, I thought all along that President Bush won all three of those debates. Even the first one--I thought he won on substance, and his expressions of annoyance didn't bother me--I agreed with his frustration.

I posted as much, here on FR. It's my belief that a lot of ADULTS are just as frustrated with Kerry's posturing as I am, and that the majority of Americans don't suffer fools gladly.

That said, ACTUALLY VOTING will be crucial. We MUST do our civic duty and get that jackass Kerry out of politics for good.

One of those "pictures worth a thousand words." I hope TMac wasn't sipping his morning coffee this morning when he saw this picture...!

Apparently the dilemma is resolving itself. As Democrats and Minorities they couldn't possibly support Bush. On the other hand, as "AMERICANS", maybe they can...

It seems to me, the MSM is trying to create news ("truth") so when Bush handily wins, Kerry's 10,000 volunteer lawyers will have "cause" to demand recounts and raise cries of intimidation and disenfranchisement will grow feet.

How could this be!? The polls had Kerry tied or ahead in such and such state. Blah, blah, blah.

Then they can go into the 2008 claiming another stolen election.

They are rats.

"The Democracy Corps poll by Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg showed Kerry strengthening his base, particularly among African-Americans and union households."

Huh? Did Kerry go up from 100% to 125% and 110%???

And remember, the polls that were taken over the weekend favor Democrats, hence Bush is likely doing far better than we can even imagine. Look for a blowout on Nov. 2.

I've always a 10% fudge factor to the polls since MSM is ANTI-CONSERVATIVE and full of crap.

Me too. And that's why I think the polls reflect that. People have had time to let those debates sink in. Plus, nowadays if you have access to a computer, you can watch those debates again and they've been aired more than once. I heard on Fox this morning that the Kerry camp says that most people voting will be voting for him so if Bush wins then there must have been some voter intimidation or some such nonsense. What a joke! I hope it's not even close in any of those battleground states. We don't need to suffer another fiasco like Florida.
