All the polls are VERY FISHY today. It is almost certain they are being manipulated. We must all remember to vote no matter what the polls say.
Yes. Every vote is needed.
Safe states like Texas need to get out the Bush vote.
We don't want the poplular vote whine in 2004.
The national polls aren't agreeing with the state polls. Florida is a must-win state for Bush, and Ohio is pretty close to being a must-win state, as well. I'd consider both of them toss-ups right now.
Let's hope Rove & Co feed "Big Mo" this time so he doesn't go away.
Yup--all the polls seem to be coming together too neatly that I smell a possible set-up. I don't trust the MSM one bit, and wouldn't be surprised if this is one last ditch effort to proclaim a "comeback" Kerry next week (for about the millionth time).
John Kerry cannot be trusted to lead the American military.
He is a serial liar who is a traitor to his country.
John Kerry supporters are, in essence, indistinguishable from domestic terrorists.
The big thing happening is that the previous round of polls were post debate 2 weekend polls. The polls being released now are generally midweek polls. Weekend polls tend to favor democrats, so any 'bump' kerry got (likely 2 points) were exaggerated by the polls being done on the weekend.
Now with most of these polls being done during the week, we see the sample returning to normal because dems are less oversampled, and the small kerry bump has faded.
My gut tells me that right now nationally it's about 4-5 points for GWB. Next week at this time I suspect it will be 6 to 7 points in our favor. Middle of next week is what you have to watch out for, becuase there will likely be some orgs that did weekend only polling and will be releasing those results tuesday or so, and may show a kerry 'surge'.
Most MSM outlets are not reporting this poll.
They're reporting on registered voter polls not likely voters like the Gallup poll.
LOL.
"Big MO" eats braying jackasses whole, and craps golden elephants.
Yeah. I can just picuture all that intimidation.
Good grief!
Bump!
B--Let's hope there is no October surprise.
C--Let's hope that the victory is great enough in all states that recounts and lawsuits would make no difference.
AND D----LET'S PRAY THAT THERE ARE REPUBLICAN COATTAILS TO HELP KEEP AND STRENGTHEN OUR HAND IN THE SENATE!!!!!
bttt
You might as well. The Dems will launch a "pre-emptive strike" and say you did, regardless. [/sarcasm]
LOL :)
We must all remember to vote no matter what the polls say.
People actually decide to vote or not, based on POLLS? That's nuts! Every vote DOES count (no matter what Jesse says), and mine is one of those every votes!
I must say, I'm pleasantly suprised by this.
I hope these are accurate figures.
By the actions of the Kerry camp, I believe they were aware of this about five days ago. Some of the wild accusations this weekend wreaked of panniced desparation.
These polls should not be trusted completely because:
1- they are used to energize the Dems to work harder to get out the votes
2- they make Republicans feel overconfident thus complacent.
