Kerry and Bush Remain Tied

[Freddie Stubbs]

John Kerry and George W. Bush remain tied in the race for president both among Americans registered to vote and among likely voters according to a nationwide survey from the American Research Group, Inc. In the ballot preference between Kerry and Bush among registered voters, 48% say they would vote for Kerry and 46% say they would vote for Bush. When Ralph Nader is added to the ballot, 46% of registered voters say they would vote for Kerry, 45% say they would vote for Bush, and 3% say they would vote for Nader.

Among registered voters considered likely to vote in November, Bush is at 48% and Kerry is at 47% in a two-way ballot. With Nader in the race, Bush and Kerry are tied at 47% each among likely voters and Nader is at 3%.

The results presented here are based on 1,014 completed telephone interviews conducted among a nationwide random sample of registered voters. Of the total sample of 1,014 registered voters, 800 are likely voters in November. The interviews were completed August 30 through September 1, 2004. The theoretical margin of error for the total sample of registered voters is plus or minus 3 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split. The theoretical margin of error for the sample of likely voters is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.

While Kerry was leading among Independents by 10 percentage points in a two-way match-up in August, Kerry leads by 5 percentage points among Independents in the latest survey.

1. Mmuwha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

God, most of that poll was taken through the GOP's convention - this is really terriffic stuff! Not as good as after our convention, but really.. I can't say I'm too displeased right now.

We're in great shape. I'm wondering if the GOP's convention has excited our base more than it has the GOP?

2. The Zell Swell Effect...

Zell's speach is going to swing the independants our way. Only so much lying people can stomach. Zell helped us out in that area TREMENDOUSLY.

3. Sure do hope so, I think people will react more to how Kerry responds

to all the visceral character defamation he's receiving. The media says Arnoldt was great but many republicans I have spoke to at work believe he was not that great and that he was being too gloating of his acting career.
