Final Pre-election Harris Polls: Still Too Close to Call but Kerry Makes Modest Gains
(Excerpt) Read more at harrisinteractive.com ...
They are also touting the lie that undecideds break to the challenger 2-1 or 4-1, despite the fact that history shows just the opposite in Presidential elections.
I do not want to be mean , but can we all just knock it off with all the POLLS now!!
This is election day ..GO VOTE!!
Intenet polls mean nuthin. This is a Dem hack job.
These being the same people reporting that The President was up 6 points amongst the 24% of LV's that had ALREADY voted? What's up with that?
Is that right? The ONE THING I believe from the MSM & you're telling me it wrong?
I shoulda known after I gotta rock on Halloween.
...and their phone polling was solidly over the weekend, and we've had hard evidence (Rasmussen) that such polls favor the RATs. Move along.... nothing to see here....
One issue about telephone polls that I have not heard much about. Many people have given up on telephones (land lines) and switched to cell phones only - especially when you can get internet via cable. (I am one of these people.)
It seems they miss the cell phone only people. I wonder how that will factor in.
I thought their final poll showed A Bush win by 49-45???
Traditionally, the Undecideds break about 50-50. In 2000, there was the Gore Abberration, thanks to the DUI October Surprise. They went 4:1 for Gore.
Are the Republican monitors guarding against attempts to keep polling places open later than the law allows in hopes of loading up on Democrat votes? I remember that Democrat tactic was a significant problem in the 2000 elections.
Hey....the REAL poll is being taken right now...with a +-.000005 margin of error
And I vote YES!
Posted on 11/01/2004 7:08:37 PM EST by traderrob6 The latest Harris Poll shows Bush ahead of sKerry 49 45. You will remeber that in 2000 Harris was the only one that got it exactly right
I second that! Couldn't we do without polls for just today? For the sake of everyone's nerves and sanity??????
You're not counting voter fraud by the dems :)
Harris historically skews Democrat. But they also reported that absentee ballots were breaking for W 50 to 44.
And that's the only poll that counts.
I'm glad you're exposing this urban legend that the undecideds break for the challenger in Presidential elections. It's only happened three times. I wonder if those three were during a time of war, also. Highly unlikely.
I dont think there is real evidence either way, what is known is that the challengers final totals are always higher than the final polls.
But the Campaigns have been doing pollls of nothing but undecideds and the Bush campaign has been saying that they show that the undecideds are breaking 2-1 for Bush. Lets hope its not a dissapointment.
