President Bush outpolled Democratic challenger John Kerry by 8 points among likely Florida voters surveyed in a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday, but other polls indicated a tighter race.
In the CNN poll, Bush had 51 percent and Kerry 43 percent among likely voters interviewed. The result was similar among registered voters: 51 percent for Bush and 42 percent for Kerry. Independent candidate Ralph Nader drew the support of 1 percent of respondents in both categories.
The poll interviewed 909 registered Florida voters Thursday through Sunday. Of those, 768 indicated they were likely to vote in the presidential election.
The margin of error in both categories was plus or minus 4 percentage points.
The results were consistent with the last poll Gallup conducted in Florida, which found in late September that 52 percent of respondents chose Bush and 43 percent Kerry.
I take this one with a grain of salt. Of course, if true, would not only give Kerry scant hope of winning the election, but more importantly would mean that there would be no Florida II in 2004.
We shall see.
Thanks...for nothing! I'm a freeper on the edge!
Cubans usually vote Republican
When did the "story" actually break?
Cubans don't vote Dem by and large. Puerto-Ricans are another matter...
Except you cant disprove a poll thats not right before the election. We should all check back this weekend.
Actually, a lot of Demo Rats in FL think Gore will be on the ballot again. I hear there are GORE yard signs in Palm Beach and Broward Counties. They're going to be really confused when they don't see a "G" name on the ballot, and may vote for the "B" name by accident. Then they will say the whole voting system is too confusing for Bingo Donkeys. Four More Years!
