Why drop a hundred skins for info we knew 4 weeks ago?
Yes, but think of the fun we'll have watching crowd control.
realclearpolitics.com has Florida leaning Bush, Pennsylvania leaning Kerry and Ohio as a tossup. They count 264 electoral votes for Bush, 220 for Kerry and 54 up for grabs.

Bush is way ahead in Florida (6-10 points), and is close or ahead in Pennsylvania. Rasmussen has PA close too.
Yep, Gallup doesn't give anything current away for free.
This seems like a distorted echo of 1980. An incumbent with Middle Eastern Trouble and with the price of oil and gasoline skyrocketing. Of course, now interest rates are low as is (official) inflation. The debates seem to go to the challenger as in 1980.
As I said back in March, I know many former Bush voters who will vote for Kerry but no Gore voters who will now vote for Bush. Most people I know think Bush has flubbed both the economy (jobs, stocks, energy, education, health, etc.) and that he has totally failed in foreign policy by going after Iraq instead of pursuing Ben-Laden and Al-Qaeda. These people did have this opinion for at least two years of so (just to put things in perspective.)
Listen up. Bush is going to win, period. Zip it up and take it to the bank. Kerry isn't even going to bother contesting Florida because he knows he has no chance there. The handling of the hurricanes and Jeb's connections will give Florida to W. Kerry is staking everything on Ohio, and he will lose there. Three reasons why:
1) SoS Blackwell is all over the voter fraud there.
2) The gay marriage amendment is on the ballot in November.
3) Nader is on the ballot in November.
Bush will win both Ohio and Florida, and he'll add Wisconsin and Iowa, too. Enough of this hand-wringing defeatist crap. "Oh no, oh no! Zogby has Bush down three! Gallup has Kerry up one! Oh no, oh no!!" Show a little backbone! Get out and vote in November, and take some friends along, too.
Especially when the Patriot Act is used to squelch the resistance.
I don't know what state polls you been looking at Jorge
I know Bush will will legally. However, the FRAUD is so ripe this year, so much worse than 4 years ago, that the FRAUD is why Kerry will win. It will take a miracle for Bush to overcome the vast fraud machinery in place.
The scumbags learned to not make the same mistake 4 years ago. Our country has the loosest, least control voter registration, election laws in the world.
When will we learn?
They have Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida all going for Bush, but in OH and PA the leads are 2-3 points. The winner of the election will probably pick up at least 2 of these 3 states."
I agree. PA will probably go for Kerry. It is possible, however, for Bush to not win OH and still win the EC. If Bush wins FL and OH it is over for Kerry.

Gore DIDN'T close the gap. The FRAUD closed the gap. When will Republicans understand what's going on??? Perhaps not until it's too late and the the Commie/Socialists have ruled for eons.
Oh shoot! They may cancel out the people I know who voted for Gore but are now voting for Bush.
Twinkie Head............LOL !
A better headline may have been; Bush Galloping toward victory in Gallup Electoral College poll, or, "Which College in America is most expensive?"
I know a lot of Gore voters who will vote for Bush, and no Bush voters who will vote for Kerry.
I don't know him of course, but the most famous Gore voter that will vote for Bush is John Oneill of the swiftvets, and he will take many, many with him.
