President
Kerry 49
Bush 44
Nader 3
Undecided 2
----
Senate race
Murray (D) 49
Nethercutt (R) 34

"The split is almost identical to the outcome on Election Day in 2000, when Gore beat Bush by 5 percent and Nader got 4.
Kerry's strongest support comes from women and those between the ages of 18 and 34 and those over 50. Fifty three percent of those voters aged 50 to 64 said they would vote for Kerry.
"Kerry is weakest among 35- to 49-year-olds, 42 percent of whom said they would vote for him.
"Bush's support is strongest (49 percent) among men and among those in the 35-49 age bracket, where he gets 50 percent support. The president's support in Washington State is weakest among Hispanics, only 28 percent of which said they would vote for him."

1. Story continues the "only whites are real voters" thinking

> "Bush's support is strongest (49 percent) among men and among those in the 35-49 age bracket, where he gets 50 percent support.

They "forgot" to include the modifier "white" for "white men."

> "The president's support in Washington State is weakest among Hispanics, only 28 percent of which said they would vote for him."

Aren't Hispanics also "men?"

What a bunch of bozos.

2. Wonder if Nethercutt will pull some stunts

Like swearing to term limit himself to two Senate terms...
