Here's the first time I have seen the actual questions in a poll posted on the internet"

5. If the election for president of the United States were held today, would you vote for: (ROTATE) SCALE: 1. Republican George W. Bush 2. Democrat John Kerry 3. Independent candidate Ralph Nader 4. (Not sure) 5. (Other) 6. (Would not vote) Please note: Starting with the Sep 21-22 poll, third party candidate Ralph Nader was only included in states where he is either on the ballot or where his ballot status is still in question.

Bush Kerry Nader (NS/Other) (Not vote)

One thing I think is wrong about the way they posted the results is that "other" is Grouped in with "not sure" So if you said you were voting for the Libertarian canidate you were listed with those who were not sure.

thanks for this link!

i found it interesting that so many people who said they were voting for kerry were doing so primarily because they want to vote against bush. this actually is great news for republicans long term because it means they are unable to project or articulate a vision of what they actually want, or, people actually have heard it and are repulsed, but find bush to be completely unnacceptable for whatever reason. the tide (sonomi?) is turning, so to speak.
