I’m curious....does anyone have links to the 2004 election polling data? I seem to recall that Kerry was leading Pres. Bush in the polls at about the same time...

Info anyone?

Rush went over this in his show yesterday, polls are next to useless. They take a sampling of people, divide them up by supposed party affiliation, take those raw numbers and apply some special sauce..ie expected turnout, voter enthusiasm, etc. Well I can make 2+2 =7 in polling logic applying adjustments to raw numbers also.

...yea a Marxists Black guy...good luck with that

IIRC — 2004 — Day before, Kerry by 4-6, the day of Kerry by 4, exit polls never lie, they said Kerry by 4.

Bush won by 3.5%.

Swing was out of the range of margin, polls ceased to be useful after 2000 they just manipulate news cycles.

But now, we have the ‘widler effect’ how do you poll for that?

This article from the Gallup web site talks about the final poll of 2004.

Battleground had Bush up by 7 at this point. Ras had him up by 2.8.
