"Who did you vote for?" Base: All likely voters(1) who have already voted (Approximately 24 percent of all "Likely Voters")
% George W. Bush 50 John Kerry 44 Ralph Nader 1 Michael Badnarik 1 Other * Not sure/Refused 4
Based on combined online and telephone survey data. (1) Likely Voters: Adults who are registered to vote and say they are "absolutely certain" to vote. Note: This base includes ONLY those likely voters who have already voted in this election.
God, I hope this sticks. Kerry is a danger to this Country that we love.
Ok, that's encouraging since the Harris poll, and not Zogby, was the most accurate in 2000.
This has made it easier for me to relax....until I thoght of bus loads of dems showing up with their "hot pics" list to vote for.
a lot of these undecideds won't vote anyway. The trend will likely hold and swing more towards bush as people go for the 'devil they know'.
I find it hard to believe 25% of all votes have voted.
Rove said it best when he answered Rush. They are required to release the names of those who early vote and based on their polls and party, they know who has votes.
W is going to Win this election big time.
So, who is the other 3%? Who's more paranoid about telling a pollster who they voted for? Repubs or Demos?
What strikes me odd about Harris is everytime they have a poll with a signifigant Bush lead they always pull some new kakmaimy way of polling just to satisfy Kerry supporters
Damn That damn Badnarik Hes gonna take away 1%... what a self centered loser !
Good, it is in line with the Scholastic and Weekly Reader Polls.
So far, Newsweeks spread of 6 points is holding. Excellent news. The magic number of 50 is very good. Kerry has always hung between 44-47. He can't get out of this range.
This and As of 12:00 am Trade sports and Iowa elc. markets have bush +4 It's Over except for the Fat Lady (Mrs Edwards?)
Washington allows for voting by mail, so I voted on October 16th.
7 of the 18 states, went for Kerry, including CA. If I had more time, I'd break it down by population and Bush/Gore percentage in 2000, but really can't. I am sure some other freeper will.

Introduction
All states offer voters the option of voting prior to the election. In some states, the ballots are returned by mail. This is referred to as absentee voting. Other states permit voters to vote in person at the offices of county clerks or at other satellite voting locations. This is referred to as early voting or in-person absentee voting.
Absentee Voting
Absentee voting is conducted by mail-in paper ballot prior to the day of the election. While all states offer some version of it, there is quite a lot of variation in states’ procedures for absentee voting. For instance, some states offer “no-excuse” absentee voting, allowing any registered voter to vote absentee without requiring that the voter state a reason for his/her desire to vote absentee. Other states permit voters to vote absentee only under a limited set of circumstances.

* Oregon conducts all elections solely by mail ballot.
Postage: In most states, the voter must put a stamp on the return envelope for the absentee ballot. Just four states pay the return postage for absentee ballots. Those states are Hawaii, Minnesota, Nevada, and West Virginia.
Witness/Notary Signature: Many states require that an absentee ballot be signed by a witness or a notary public. In these states, ballots that are returned without the required signature are not counted.

* The signature of a witness is required only if the voter was assisted in filling out the absentee ballot.
Receiving and Counting Absentee Ballots: The rules for when absentee ballots must be received, when they are counted, and who counts them also vary from state to state.
If true, then kerry must get almost twice as many votes as Bush tomorrow just to match him in the popular vote.
I'm in NC too. We're getting up at dawn and heading to the polls 1/2 mile from my house. I'm excited for a Bush win.
Oops! Better disregard my stupid post at 17. I should have read the percentages, duh! :-)
Where is the remaining 6%? Did they refuse to answer? If so, they are probably conservatives!
