CBS) The race for the White House heads into its final two days very close in the nationwide popular vote, and nearly the same as it was two weeks ago. President George W. Bush holds a three-point lead over Senator John Kerry among likely voters, an edge within this poll's margin of error.

I think that means that Kerry's argument about Ben Laden's tape being evidence of failed policy wont stick. Who cares if UBL is is a hole somewhere if all his generals are dead? I think W's strongest argument is the fact that UBL came with a vidoe instead of bombs...because we are killing his base. We could play "here we go round the mulberry bush" chasing UBL in Afghanistan forever, but if his people are still getting trained in Iraq, then we are just being an ostrich. We are winning the war and UBL knows it.
Every Bush supporter will be a voter, there are no Likely voters in President George W. Bush's base...we are dedicated and we will be there to vote, come hell or high water, and we will know how to mark the ballot correctly.
I'm expecting a 5 million popular vote lead for Bush.
That's nice
Absolutely 100% right.....I see and sense the win....and I think Kerry's team does too.....
I have a gut feeling you are correct. I hope Gallup thinks so too.
any guess on EVs ?
That has been my prediction for about a month. It wouldn't suprise me if the margin of victory is even wider.
I will be SO GLAD when this is over. We just seem to spend all day buzzing around the myriad polls, like flies on dog-logs.
Go W!
I agree. The polls have been all over the place. Take nothing for granted. As you've said, come hell or high water, we will be there to vote.
Geez, that is apt description!
There are a number of Bush supporters who are going to hold their nose and vote Bush. But do it they will, because they know they must. Broken glass nose holders.
All OBL's warrior buddies are dead and OBL is staring into the yawning gates of hell. He sounds subdued.
Go W!
Hey Eggs. Agreed. I've been tormented by the polls for weeks. Donating money is one thing, but today I had the privilege of walking a precinct and talking to voters. More of the same tomorrow. Feels good to be on the ground.
Not to be a downer...but I honestly think it will be closer to the registered voter totals. I think that you can't underestimate the "young" voters who have never voted before...I don't think they will show as a "likely" voter because of no voting history.
There is a lot of passion on each side this year. I do believe that voter totals will be very high...we just have to make sure that we do all we can to get our folks to the polls.
"Every Bush supporter will be a voter"
Unfortunately that is not true. Lets be realistic here. We NEED to make sure that every Bush supporter votes. Especailly in swing states. I'm still very concerned about the republicans lack of a Get out the vote effort.
I am concerned about the polls Fox is showing on their program. theya re showing, it appears, a slight edge to Kerry in the Fox poll and in the Rasmussen pool a statistical tie (Bush ahead by .6). This was on Rita Cosby's show about an hour ago.
What gives with this?
Also Buchanon on Scarborough - conceded a bunch of debate points to the Dem operatives - did anyone see this?
I've been doing 4 hours of walk-around GOTV every day for the past four days, and it's obvious to me that Bush voters will be there come Tuesday.
