Well, if this is true. Shouldn't those wonderful polls start showing it?
Good grief!
The tape was aired just today.
I don't like to make newbies feel uncomfortable,
but are you sure you belong here?
They will. Remember, tracking polls take 2-3 days to show the full impact.
What will be interesting is Bush does better in the weekday polling (going up to as much as 6+), while Kerry does better at the weekend polling (almost catching Bush).
Has to do with who is home on weekends, etc (for example, Repubs are twice as likely to be in Church on Sunday morning, so the random calling catches more Rats than Repubs on Sunday).
I would expect to see the polls tighten in teh next two days, then Monday swing back to Bush.
We've only got 3 days of polling left. Probably not enough time to see it reflect in the polls. I think what happens though is that when people vote they think twice on who should be president in these turbulent times and I think some of those people will break for Bush. We won't know until election day. A state like New Jersey could tip Bush's way just because of their proximity to 9/11.
