Aug. 26 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush and John
Kerry remain deadlocked in the race for the U.S. presidency, five
national polls show, indicating that an anti-Kerry advertising
campaign by a Vietnam veterans group has failed to hurt him or
help the president.
Kerry, a four-term U.S. senator from Massachusetts, leads
Bush by 2 percentage points in a George Washington University poll
and by 1 point in a Fox News survey. An Investor's Business Daily
poll shows the candidates even, while Bush leads in polls by the
Los Angeles Times and the Gallup Organization. All results are
within the surveys' margins for error.
``With 10 weeks remaining in the 2004 presidential election,
the campaign remains an extremely tight and polarized race,'' said
Republican pollster Eddie Goeas, who conducted the survey for
George Washington University with Democratic pollster Celinda
Lake.
Kerry leads Bush 49 percent to 47 percent in the Washington-
based university's poll, while independent candidate Ralph Nader
is backed by 1 percent. Twelve percent are undecided.

1. Gallup Poll - Kerry actually gains 2 pts from their last poll after DNC!

Gallup Poll

Bush drew support from 48 percent of the 709 likely voters
polled nationwide Aug. 23-25 by Cable News Network/USA
Today/Gallup. Kerry was supported by 46 percent and Nader 4
percent. The margin of error was 4 percentage points. In an Aug. 9-
11 survey, Bush had 48 percent to Kerry's 46 percent and Nader's 3
percent.
The Gallup survey found that 81 percent of those polled had
seen the Swift boat group's ads or were familiar with the
commercials' content. ``It doesn't seem like it had any effect on
the ballot question,'' Jeff Jones, managing editor of the Gallup
poll, said in an interview. That ``isn't because people aren't
aware of what's going on,'' he said.

3. If Kerry is holding or gaining incrementally...

After all this merde being slung, then they just ain't got no traction. All that effort, all those markers called in for this, all for nought.

5. I know, it's sad and disgusting. One small mention to the fact that

Kerry was addressing himself as a representative to a group of 150 Vets and discribing their accounts. Not his own, so they smear him for what they said to him. I find it quite embarrising as a human being that my countries media his attacking Kerry for exposing the truth and helping to save lives. Not once did I hear CNN say, Kerry did this to save lives in a meaningless war.

6. Remain tied?

As I recall Kerry has been way ahead. Kerry is still ahead, the chimp campaign has moved into high gear and is going for the jugular. What ever themes they come up with in the next week or so is ALL we will hear from them until Nov.

7. Like those Giant foam flip flop people showing up at Kerry rally's.

Only idiots would believe Bush has less Flops then Kerry.

Bush 2003... "I'm a war President."
Bush 2004... "I'm a peace President."
