...didn't see it on the front page, though.

I looked, and the Reuters front page is only showing the Zogby report with Kerry in the lead.

...dirty, rotten media.

Electoral Vote Predictor 2004: Kerry 243 Bush 280
... and that doesn't include the "weaks" such as Fl etc IMHO

Forget the polls. The Dims are telling their people "Sure the polls are close but we have the better get out the vote game" It's all about Turnout. If we coast we are toast. GET EVERY Republican to the polls!

"President Bush's lead over Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry has widened to 6 percentage points among likely voters, according to a Newsweek magazine poll released on Saturday."

I think we're being set up, and Bush's lead is smaller than this. Also, polls won't take into account the "fraud bump" that Kerry will receive. It could make a difference in many close races.

Any time MSM gives GWB any kind of bump, look for alternative motive.

This is a Newsweek Poll only. Reuters news service is just reporting the story. The Reuters poll is done by Zogby which is a daily tracking poll. The Newsweek story is a good one that says trend to Bush. Zoby has Bush up by one and so does Washington Post/ABC but it is not clear how much of that polling was done last night after Osama tape played. Newsweek was done over Oct. 26 to last night Oct. 29.

I'm delighted to see any poll that puts Bush ahead. From what Frank Luntz said last night on MSNBC, don't pay any attention to 3 or less points in poll movements. Polls are unreliable at this point, but I think that you can see a trend. It's clear that Bush has maintained about a 3 pt lead over Kerry in the national polls.

Early morning here in Australia, in pyjamas having coffee, yours is the first post I read - gotta tell you - the same was reported here on the late news last night.
I was not surprised. Same happened here. Howard won re-election by a bigger margin than the previous. Why? You know the answer. SECURITY!

It is going to kill me to be away from Freerepublic for three days, but I am helping out form 9am to 8pm tomorrow, Monday, and Election day in Florida. We win Florida we will be in good shape.

The only poll that matters is the one on November 2nd.

Newsweek could be lying.

A U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2000 handed the election to Bush

They just couldn't let pass by an opportunity to throw in a barb.

[Rome2000]

it said 54 percent thought the winner would eventually be determined by the courts.

Kerry can declare himself POTUS all he wants, but he's going to need a real army, not a bunch of NYU lawyers and hippie commie scumbags, to take power.

Saw a nice sight today - a group of 20-30 college students with Bush/Cheney signs at the intersection of Mt. Diablo and Main in Walnut Creek, CA. Turns out they are from UC Berkeley (?!?!?) and one of them said their group has over 500 members! I thanked them for coming out to the suburbs and fighting the good fight. They were getting a lot of positive responses from drivers and pedestrians - a few liberals rolled their eyes but I didn't see any confrontations. I guess Kerry supporters just don't have any passion for their man. ;)

bump

[Flightdeck]

If it's 50-44, and the margin of error is 4, how is it a statistical dead heat?

[Salvation]

**The poll showed Bush leading Kerry by 50 percent to 44 percent,**

I think this is going to open up to 8 points. (My prediction!)

[Ronzo]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush's lead over Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry has widened to 6 percentage points among likely voters, according to a Newsweek magazine poll released on Saturday.

Perhaps Kerry can encourage Osama Bin Laden to do some more campaigning for him, so that the lead can widen to 15-20 points...

[Happy2BMe]

The poll showed Bush leading Kerry by 50 percent to 44 percent, and independent candidate Ralph Nader drawing 1 percent support.
