" Well, then you had better prepare yourself, because by the end of today (Sunday), RealClearPolitics will have Bush's average lead below 2.0 points, and probably below 1.0 point (or even a Kerry lead) by the end of Monday."

Well, it already has happened. RCP now has Bush at +1.8. Of course, I didn't think it was going to be a FoxNews' TIE that would drop the average below 2.0.

Thanks for your post. I had noticed the weekend pattern in Kerry's direction and I think the same was true for Gore four years ago. The fact that Bush actually picked up two in the Zogby poll is even more interesting when it comes on the weekend.

Hey, poll junkies, need a good laugh?

Check out these lines from the Minneapolis Star Tribune's write up of their poll released today. The poll, a real outlier, shows Kerry up 9 pts. in Minnesota.

So here's what their pollster said:

"...I expect the spread's going to narrow between him and Kerry between now and Election Day," Jacobs said. "You're not going to see Kerry winning by 8 points, and that lead in the poll may be a little high. The poll is very consistent with a whole lot of other results [no, it's not], so no one can disagree with it."

Bush also could be helped by the fact that the Minnesota Poll has, since 1996, consistently found that starting the Friday night before the election, the electorate becomes more conservative and ends up voting more Republican.

HAHAHAHAHA! The voters become more conservative after Friday.....LOL!
