Methodology: Telephone interviews to 771 likely American voters, conducted from Oct. 19 to Oct. 21, 2004. Margin of error is 4 per cent.
Other
poll highlights: Bush approval at 53 per cent. Economy and war on terror are the most important issues for voters Bush seen as better candidate to deal with moral values issues, the situation in Iraq, the war on terrorism, providing leadership, taxes and being commander in chief. Kerry regarded as better for health care and understanding the needs of the average American. Both candidates almost even on economy.
There will still be litigation prompted by the DNC. The groundwork was set in Florida in '00.
It's petty and un-American, however removing W's from all computer keyboards in the White house is too.
Better yet, if it ain't close they'll get caught cheating.
That is what I was thinking. Perhaps it reflects that a lot of people don't know much about Kerry's backround.
But what about Ohio? Even if Bush gets over 330 EVs, how can he possibly win without Ohio? And that new Scripps poll shows Kerry has Ohio locked up...</sarcasm off>
Don't worry, I'll videotape it for the rest of you.
Good question. I think it is because Kerry says it repeats the lie over and over again.
