Article:Kerry Momentum Helps in Key States- Campaign Strategy Working!

[bigtree]

The Kerry campaign has plenty of positive numbers to cite, including:

-- A Quinnipiac University poll showing Kerry and his running mate, John Edwards, with a slight lead in Florida over Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

-- An Epic-MRA survey suggesting that Michigan is tilting slightly toward the Democratic ticket.

-- An American Research Group survey showing Kerry-Edwards with small lead in New Hampshire.

Those three states, with a combined 48 electoral votes, were evenly split between Kerry and Bush before last month's Democratic National Convention in Boston.

In addition, Pennsylvania and Oregon -- a combined 28 electoral votes -- were evenly split in July, and now the states appear to tilt toward Kerry, according to private polling and interviews with strategists in both parties.

1. Florida Poll: Kerry 50%, Bush 42%...

I saw it on CNN today, can't remember which poll it is though! darn :)

2. ARG in Florida ...

8 % points in Florida is no 'slight lead' ...

It is a daunting chasm for Bush and the GOP ....

Even Diebold will be hard pressed to subvert 8% ...

[Placebo]

3. Not to mention Bush's Job Approval Numbers in FL...

something like 54% negative, 44% positive for bush

his brother isn't much better, something like 44% negative, 45% positive

The media likes the spin the lie that Kerry had a "bounceless" convention, which simply isn't the case.

Now, not only is Kerry seen in polls as better fit to be president, more trustworthy, and will wage a better war on terror than bush on all 3, he's gotten massive bumps in the polls in major battleground states like ohio and florida!

4. Jeb must be shitting a brick right about now.

May not be able to give Florida to his little big brother.

5. Jeez, Kerry keeps gaining more and more momentum

Like a bunch of stones rolling down a hill.

I can't wait until November. :D
