1. Whose poll?

Someone here said that Bushler was up by 11. Is that RV?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

2. CNN-Gallup

.

3. wait til the coke blowing and AWOL charges hit them...

[displacedtexan]

4. That guy (Alan Johnson) challenged CNN's poll results, too...

and Judy backed down.

[atre]

12. Yes. Apparently it's no secret that CNN USAToday whore for Bush

I wouldn't necessarily say Woodruff backed down, however. He said, "With all due respect to your polls, even considering the post-convention bounce, I think it's much much closer than that." Then she moronically replied, "Even after the post-convention bounce?" Hello, Judy! Anyone home?

[cthrumatrix]

5. but Paula Zahn said "coke head" was far ahead.....?

[jezebel]

6. They had Kerry up 8 points in registered voters 3 weeks ago.

In likely voters Kerry is down to 44% (from 48% 3 weeks ago)
and Bush is up to 52%. It is a shift of about 8 percent in the last 3 weeks. The swift crap and the convention seems to have shifted things in Ohio Bush's way.

19. Their state polls show extreme swings

I wouldn't worry about it. The fact that Kerry is practically even among RVs tells me their LV sample is way too Republican. They've shown leads too big for Kerry, too. The race in Ohio is close enough that Kerry has a shot.

7. CNN is pushing the fact that Bush is up 8% in likely voters

Given the fact that the CNN/USAToday/Gallup polls have consistently given Bush 5-10% more than all other polls (since Campaign 2000), this can't be good news for Bush.

I can't wait to hear a poll from a more credible source.

8. WRITE them and tell them to cut it out

[e-mail]

[cthrumatrix]

10. will do...

[Mr Blond]

9. We need more than that with "Registered Voters".

Registered Voters tend to favor us, Likey Voters tend to favor them.

We need to keep plugging away no matter what.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

11. Registered voter poll was the most accurate Gallup poll in 2000

Almost dead on

[ItsMyParty]

13. I have a hard time believing that in this election a whole bunch of

'registered' voters will stay home. I read the fine print in one of the polls and it gave the criteria for classifying someone as "likely" and one of the points was if they voted in the last election. Does anyone know what some of the other criteria is?? Anyway, it takes some sort of an effort to "register" at some point in your life and with all that has gone down, I just can't see massive numbers of "registered" voters sitting this one out (I can see people who have never registered not taking any interest in anything but not registered voters).

[Proud2BAmurkin]

14. bingo. Add in the newly registered voters too

Kerry landslide

[yellowcanine]

15. I am getting tired of saying it but "Likely voter" predictions are not

accurate 60 days out from an election. Wait at least until a week or so after the last debate. Lots of people change their mind about voting. Registered voters is the best predictor at this time.

[Thrill]

16. Likely voters is a stupid concept

Its basically saying Minorities and Young people are saying they want Kerry over Bush. But they aren't likely to vote.

In so many words thats who they aren't including in the so called "likely voter" crap. Boy will they be suprised on Election day

[tritsofme]

17. Big toward * though, in RV Kerry was leading 52-42 in August.

18. The two most recent electoral college prrojections

Also have Kerry head again (Electoral Vote. Con and DC's political REport both have Kerry well ahead of Bush again in elelctoral votes vbased on changes in state polls in the last few days)

[Andromeda]

20. Wait a minute, I heard Paula Zahn...

say Bush was up 8 points in Ohio. What's up with these polls. Geez, it's driving me mad!

[mvd]

21. I still think Ohio will come around

In fact, I'm predicting that Bush will have a horrible two months. People are starting to talk, and we have Carville and Begala on our side. That's why my electoral vote prediction is so lopsided.
