I’m so scaaaaaaa-yerd! What if Bush loses in Ohio?????
Thanks for the encouragement Red!
Bush went down six points a week later!
Oct 29, 2004 - Kerry leads Bush 50 percent to 44 percent in Ohio, according to a Los Angeles Times poll conducted Oct. 22-26. The poll of 585 likely voters has a margin for error of 4 percentage points
Hey Red, don’t confuse me with facts. I would rather engage in panic, depression and manic paranoia.
The difference is that Bush was head in the national polls. McCain is not.
However I think Ohio is safely in his column
Ohh No! I am so defeated now. I Give Up! Bush is DOOMED!
It’s all over. I can’t believe the people of this country is stupid enough to elect Kerry this Nov. This is the end.
Kerry has this won....
Thanks, helps.
BUMP for excellence in freeping.
Good job, Red Steel.
Well done, I thought we were hearing about 320 votes for Kerry. Not to mention how bad these polls were during the primaries that were off sometimes 15-20%.
Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops
WOW!!! Thank you for the reminder :)
No, be fooled by the polls. Turn out and vote for McCain. Turn out and give the press a big black eye. Vote against Obama and all the other criminals in Washington. Vote for every conservative you can find so that they can fight the America haters within and without that are trying to hijack our country. Does anyone know what the majority of the polls were saying back in early October 2004? And even if these polls are fake, why are we looking to astrology to figure out what happens? Turnout on our end will determine whether we call Obama our “dear leader” one month from now.
NO Gallup had Kerry ahead by 5 points a few weeks before the elections and kept Kerry ahead the rest of the election and had him up by 2 pt in the end.
Kerry lost by 2.5 pts.
These tracking polls are pure crap .
The similarity is this article from 2004 just goes to show how whack these polls are. One week before the election and it showed Kerry/Bush 50/44 in Ohio. The reality was the opposite.
Exactly.
Excellent find. My main concern is the declining economy that gives Obama the advantage now.
“Kerry did not have a Jeremiah Wright problem but Obama does. You guys are really underestimating the extreme destructive force of Jeremiah Wright against Obama. Wait until the 527 groups allied with McCain unleash hell on Obama regarding the reverend of hate, racism, and anti-Americanism.”
What are the 527’s waiting for? I’m in New Mexico, I should be seeing these ads already, where are they?
Lets me think here .
Oh Yes now I recall where I seen those similar figures .
Gallup has the Messiah up by 4 points today !
