DRUDGE: NEWSWEEK POLL: BUSH LEAD GONE (Registered voters, not likely voters polled)

YEah, Newstewak is good -- I don't trust any of these pollsters really, so for them to give an artificial lead to Bush before the debate and then have it magically vaporize after is not that far out.

However, I seriously doubt they would EVER give Bush an artificial lead. That is just more than a committed lefty could bring herself to do. So, any poll showing the President with a lead I take to be understated, and any poll showing CAIRy with a lead I take to be overstated.

If Newswreck told this to a jackass it would kick their brains out.

Like heck RV are more accurate. LV are the people who will go to the polls come hell or high water.

Newsweek is blowing smoke with this poll.

Let's all exhale and remember this.....

[Mister Baredog]

But he's now going to be on Kerry's turf with domestic issues for the next two debates.

You don't think there will be any foreign policy questions from the next debate, in town hall format? I do.

[bioprof]

Also in the internals: 60% said they knew "a lot" about what Bush stands for, only 37% ( or 32% - I'm going on memory here ) knew "a lot" about what Kerry stands for......I think this internal is very revealing. Who ARE these people that don't know about Kerry? This reminds me of the polls taken immediately after the Dem primary that had Kerry leading....and the exact same internal ( almost the same numbers ) showed up. Bush began to pull away as the public became "educated" about Kerry. I guess these folks have been living in a cave since January,

Also shows that there is plenty of room for the right kind of ad bombardment in the last two weeks.

He didn't seem quite as prepared as he should've

Let it go, guru. And, MOVE ON!

[Congressman Billybob]

Aha, as usual, Newsweek is using "registered voters," which always overstates the Democrat's totals on all questions.

Democracy Corps Poll has Bush up by two points.

CNN/Gallup poll shows no change after 1st Debate.


What if the Newsweek poll is nothing but propaganda? Like the Harris poll at the start of Sept that claimed "Bush's convention bounch is gone"? Funny how the bad new for Bush polls are treated as gospel by a certain sect of Freepers and the ones that show bad new for Kerry are "suspicous" Why is that?

[OhGeorgia]

Bush did make a gaffe. He didnt respond and didnt attak Kerry.

[contessa machiaveli]

i don't take any polls seriously, the only one that matters is on nov. 2nd.

[clintonh8r]

My post didn't mention the polls. I simply expressed my impressions of the debate. I think those impressions are pretty accurate.

I have a grip thank you -- on reality. Let's face facts and stop deluding ourselves here. Bush has left himself open for slaughter and repeating the same tired lines at pep rallies isn't going to work. He's preaching to the choir at these events. It's not his base he needs to worry about.

Bush has let himself get boxed-in with his only option left is to come out swinging which the media will spin as to aggressive.

I'm sure Bush will do better in the next debate because he couldn't do any worse. If Bush and company knows where OBL is they better send all the troops to capture him as that is about the only thing left which will change the focus of this race.

[valleygal]

You know, I always used to be one of the first to welcome newbies on a thread , but these last few days I don't even want to read anyone's posts who signed up at the time of the debate. I'm not "feeling the trust", if you know what I mean.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

This poll smells like Democrats were over polled

[tsmith130]

I also don't undertsand how anyone could be an undecided voter at this point. What are they waiting for to make up their minds?!

[The KG9 Kid]

Your post was a random link I posted that Drudge info to.

[gilliam]

But he's now going to be on Kerry's turf with domestic issues for the next two debates.

Like abortion? cloning? homosexual marriage?

[COEXERJ145]

I love how this poll must have started as soon as the debates ended and finished Saturday morning. Smells like the typical Newsweak crap. I also bet they went back to oversampling Democrats again.

Your opinion is noted. Thanks for sharing.

Now let it go...get out of the way...and let us win!
