Kerry is probably up 3 or 4.

1. That caught my attention too.

I wonder what this misinformation means.

2. Could be more. SV (R) also has Kerry up by only one in Washington,

which just about says it all for the accuracy of that poll and for the idiotic electoral-vote.com guy (yes, I know he's a Kerry supporter), who stubbornly sticks to his flawed plan just like W.

3. I'm in northwest Ohio

I know of only ONE person voting for Bush, out of all my relatives, friends, neighbors and business associates. I find it hard to believe that the gap isn't much wider.

4. A 46-47 Bush Lead in the Polls

leaves 7% undecided. With Nader off the ballot, 47% for Bush probably equates to a Kerry win.

5. all signs this is a kerry pick up

Don't forget the 250% dem-25% rep voter registration pick up. Rasmussen also has Bush up 1%.

6. That's the best SV can do?

They were created specifically to massage numbers. It is their stated reason d'etre. If that's the best they can do, we're winning Ohio, baby.

7. I'm afraid it looks like electoral-vote.com got it wrong......

Below is the link to Strategic Vision's web page containing results of that Ohio poll. It shows Kerry down 52-43 without Nader, and 52-42 with Nader. :-(

But FWIW, Strategic Vision is a GOP firm and, thus, might have some bias, and it's anybody's guess regarding the accuracy of their sample selection.

10. Maybe that Ohio they cite is actually the Rasumssen poll?

Strategic Vision is the worst.

8. This is best this site has looked for Kerry in weeks

He's now ahead in several of the most recent polls in PA, he's reclaimed a lead in OR and OH and FL are dead heats. :thumbsup:

9. Strategic Vision website says he is ahead 52-43

Electoral-vote.com has been screwing up a lot of things lately.

11. this is not a very reliable poll

[sofa king]

12. Forgive my cynicism, but....

Could our pollsters be engineering a pre-debate popularity trough for the President?

Here's what you do: simply massage the sample and the results to indicate that the race is close to tied just prior to the debates.

Then, no matter what the actual outcome of the debate, return to your Republican-weighted polling and voila, The President Won The Debate.

Polls don't lie, right?
