Conventional wisdom used to be that weekend polls favored Republicans. The idea was that Republcans have jobs and work on weekdays but both Republicans and Democrats are available on weekends.
I dunno, all the polls are moving in Kerry's direction in PA.
i'm just happy to get a chance to see the President. First time for me.
I've not seen any other poll to support this Survey USA poll showing Kerry up by five. Has anyone else?
During the first week of October, the Keystone Poll and West Chester Univ. poll both had Kerry up by 7. Rasmussen's premium number is also now showing something very similar to the SUSA margin. In between, we had four straight polls showing a race within 2 points.
Yeah. Rasmussen's tracking poll matches up with this one pretty good.
correct. PA is done.
NJ is in play because of 9-11, Bush needs to get to the parts of NJ with Rudy at his side - where people commute to Manhattan. Alot of NYers moved to NJ after 9-11 because of the concern over terrorism. They vote in NJ now, they care about the terror issue, and they love Giuliani.
Might be as many as 20,000 for this event. Wonder if they will charge for parking?
As a lifetime resident of Pennsylvania, I would like to say the following:
I HATE PHILADELPHIA. I'M SURROUNDED BY RETARDS AND MARXISTS.
SUSA is the common denominator with all these state polls showing a Kerry trend. I don't buy it. I am actually encouraged by it. According to SUSA, Bush is only up by 3 in N.C., and down 6 in PA. To believe this one must also believe Kerry is up the national polls. SUSA is just reeling in another client for another round of polling.
Oh, good grief. You also thought Dubya was finished a couple of months ago.
I guess I'm surprised at the possibility that PA could go to the Dems... I don't know the history of voting there, but I know that much of small-town PA are hunters... and CARE about their right to bear arms...
Or maybe I'm just totally offbase with this. Guess I should do some studying.
months ago, things were not looking too good (before the swift boat ads). the campaign made alot of mistakes letting the Dems seize the premise about the iraq war being "a mess" in the spring, and it has eroded public support for it.
that said, I have been predicting a 3-5% win for Bush, not the landslide others seem to feel is coming (I don't know where they are getting that from) - and I'll stick with that. there are still alot of cards being played here; these gas prices, this whole media induced panic about the flu to scare seniors. this isn't over by a longshot.
SurveyUSA is a Democrat-leaning poll. I don't trust those numbers. They don't feel right to me. I'd wait to see what other polls say.
Never mind that 80-90% of the community is Republican and they would love to go, Mrs. Superintendent is part of the Teachers Union, and we know who they want. What a crock.
Months ago, the President was in the driver's seat, just like he is now.
Uh, not so fast there, friend. I live in Johnstown, and I can tell you, it's not going to happen here.
This is ground zero for the labor-union-entitlement-oh-woe-is-me mentality. When Bush was here, most of the people who attended were bussed in from Altoona. Hell, Cambria county went for Mondull in '84. These people are hopeless. It's going to take a couple of generations to weed out all of the union thugs.
You can't imagine what I have to put up with...
Let PA die. Go for Ohio, Florida and NJ.
Aren't you treading on a voters rights? Why don't Republicans go for the conviction?
