Heard McCain interview this morning. He said that in 2004 it was Kerry +13 over Bush at this point in one of the polls. This is a close race, and daily roller coaster angst just isn’t worth it.

I think McCain is stretching really hard with that statement.

3-Way Race: Bush/Cheney vs Kerry/Edwards vs Nader/Camejo

“Heard McCain interview this morning. He said that in 2004 it was Kerry +13 over Bush at this point in one of the polls.”

If McCain really said that he is just blowing smoke. Why would he state something that is so clearly wrong? The polls were virtually ALL pro-Bush at this time of the cycle. Here are ALL 2004 national polls from 9/1 forward to election day:

I can’t IMAGINE what McCain would be thinking, claiming that polling was pro-Kerry in 2004, and even showed a 13% Kerry lead at this point in 2004. The opposite is true. Almost every poll showed Bush ahead for the entire 9/1 through 11/1 time frame. Look for yourself.

Not according to Rasmussen.
