Oct 21, 2004 - A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Thursday night indicated Bush and Kerry were about even in Ohio, which has 20 electoral votes. Among likely voters, Kerry was ahead by 1 point, 48 percent to 47 percent. Kerry had a 6-point edge, 50 percent to 44 percent, among registered voters. ...

Thank you so much!
Geez, this makes me feel much better.

Of the 85 polls on that page, only 7 show Kerry with a lead.
As much as people love to trash polls (there are some pretty terrible outfits still in business), they generally tell the truth if you look at the numbers as an overall picture. Right now McCain is behind, its why I skipped 4 classes today to go knock doors.
It was 47% 46% of likely voters with a moe of 4. Considering Bush won by over 2%, that poll was technically correct. The margin of error just flipped against Kerry
You think McCain will take OH despite the voter fraud? I hope you are right. Perhaps he will need to win by several points to overcome the ACORN crowd, and the Demo sec. of state who will bend the rules for her man. That is one thing Bush did not have to contend with last time. And while there was fraud, I think the Dems and the far left are even more fired up this time. Not to mention they know they can cast fraudulent votes and get away with it. Who’s going to squawk, the media? Ha ha.
This poll from 4 years ago is interesting, and sort of encouraging. It shows polls can be way off, even closer to the election. But as you pointed out, Bush was in a stronger position at this point. McCain and Palin are going to have to fight back extraordinarily hard to come from behind.
McCain will tank in the polls after this baloney tonight.
Obama also voted for it. Does that mean he'll rise in the polls?
Good for you .I work at the Sac area office some times.
Do not panic yet.
Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls are pure formulated witchcraft .
Read about this quiet change made by Battleground that they kept to themselves until cornered by someone but there poll shift four points overnight .The magic of formula driven tracking polls.
You can make one change and you get a whole new POLL !

Thanks for posting.....perspective is always nice.
what baloney ?
How McCain voted for the joke tonight
Thanks. I needed that. :)
it's not going to matter... aren't you reading about all the FReepers who are not voting for McCain because he supports the senate's bailout bill?
its diffewrent bill than the HOuse bill .
it supports the banking insurance end and is void of the accord and la raza earmarks.
Paulson is an idiot, his non stop screaming and the 24/7 Obama news media has forced everyone to do something to keep the nervous nellies on wall street from panicking.
the term bailut attached to this bill is a huge mistake .
The S&L mess had similar bills drawn up in 1988-89.
Bush is DOOMED!!
We’re all DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!
Oh my gosh, I am so glad I found this thread! I am so sick and tired of doom and gloom! I’ve just had it with all the whining and moaning.
