"Some unusual things are happening"

The latest Harris Poll conducted between September 20 and 26, 2004 shows President George W. Bush with a two-point lead over Senator John Kerry among likely U.S. voters (48% to 46%). This poll was conducted online with the same methods used by Harris Interactive® to predict the 2000 elections with great accuracy. The previous Harris Poll conducted two weeks earlier, but conducted by telephone, also found the candidates running neck and neck, with Senator Kerry one point ahead of President Bush among likely voters (Bush 47%, Kerry 48%)..


Kerry stomping with educated intelligent voters. * grabbing the moron vote.

1. Not bad

Still a very close race.

2. Harris points out that Dems usually win the votes of the least

educated but this time they are voting for Bush while the more educated you are--voting for Kerry. Also Kerry isn't doing as well as he should be among women voters.

Still these pre-debate polls don't mean anything. The debates--especially the first one will be critical. It is a huge opportunity for Kerry but also one which comes with potential pitfalls.

3. More evidence that this race is much closer than the media is

willing to acknowledge.
