If Election Held Today - Kerry To Win 296 to 242

New Zogby Interactive Presidential Battleground Poll Reveals

In the two weeks since the last Zogby Interactive poll, the American political scene has changed somewhat, and the poll numbers reflect that, for the first time in months, there were no major problems erupting in either Iraq or the domestic economy, not counting an occasional spike in local gas prices.

The poll numbers reflect a slight improvement for the President. Based on interactive polls conducted June 1-6 by Zogby Interactive of Utica, New York in 16 battleground states around the country, Democratic presidential challenger John Kerry would defeat the incumbent today by an Electoral College tally of 296 to 242. However, races in several states are simply too close to call.


Two weeks ago, Mr. Kerry held a 102-vote lead in the Electoral College, 320-218.


Most of the change comes in two key states - Ohio (with 20 votes) and Missouri (which has 11) - which both switched from the Kerry to the Bush column. Again, the races there are very close and could flip several more times before November.

I hope that the trend moves back toward 320-218 ;) But, I'll take any win.

2. Welcome to DU, but I don't think

you'll find anyone here praying for more deaths in Iraq or elsewhere.

5. VRWC momentum? I haven't a clue what your talking about.

As for praying for death, that's ridiculous.

I am praying to avert more death/deficit/gloom via the defeat of George Bush this November.

10. Huh?

First of all, what momentum? (Something akin to the "Joementum" seen in New Hampshire last February?)

Second, we don't "need" more scandals, the country needs the Truth -- and thankfully some of the truth about the chimp's administration is coming out.

Third, do you know anybody who's praying for people in Iraq, whether soldiers or Iraqi citizens, to die or to suffer?

I don't understand. Could you explain?

4. I want OH.

I won't feel comfortable without it.

6. I'd like Ohio also. But, a win will do nicely regardless.

Of course, I am wondering about my homestate of MN?
Sheesh, never thought I'd ponder Minnesota going to a R ... :(

9. This makes me wonder about the poll

"The President does particularly well among voters over 65. It will be important to see if this holds up as Democrats and seniors' groups vigorously attack the new Medicare program on prescription drugs."

My friend's dad, who is 83 is voting for Kerry - the first time he's voted for a Democrat in his life. I have a friend who's been in an assisted living facility for about a year and going nuts because most everyone there is Republican - but all of a sudden she's hearing people say they're voting for Kerry.

Then, of course, there's my mom, her sisters and their friends...Not that Mom and my aunts are good indicators as they've always been Democrats, but they all say they don't know anyone in their crowds who are voting for Bush.

11. I've seen a trend to Kerry from the elder crowd I know also?

My Mother in law for one? :shrug:

It should be interesting, I just hope like heck we win!
