RE: RACE STABLE ON FINAL WEEKEND

Review of public and overnight polls

To give some perspective on the race in its final weekend, we might recall what Wolf Blitzer said on the day before the election, 2000: “And now, let’s take a look at the latest poll numbers. The new CNN/USA Gallup Tracking Poll results are being released at this hour. It shows George W. Bush with 48 percent, Al Gore 43 percent, Ralph Nader with 4 percent, Pat Buchanan with 1 percent. And those numbers are similar to other tracking polls,” going on to cite the Bush lead in polls for ABC, Washington Post, NBC-Wall Street Journal, CBS and MSNBC-Reuters-Zogby.

In fact, the public polls in 2004 show a remarkably stable and dead-locked race, with Bush stuck somewhere between 47 and 48 percent, short of what an incumbent should have to secure re-election.

11. Take a look at the archived poll why you are there

if you decide to go.

Q: So far has The Factor favored one of the Presidential Candidates over the other?

I have not seen his show in an eon, but do I really have to, to answer this question fairly?

7. Well, I wish they would stop telling the media that their internal polls

show momentum for Bush. An AP article states
"a new poll showed the incumbent moving ahead of the Massachusetts senator in the popular vote, and Democrats said their private surveys also hinted at momentum for the president. "
And that article is the front page of both ABC and MSNBC right now.
What fucking Democrat would say that and WHY? Zell Miller?

9. Honesty= Kerry VS Liar= Bush

:) It's going to be close, and we know it. They try to play with the polls, even internals.

12. The Undecideds..

...are the fencesitters who like all the attention they receive from their peers on either side of the fence.

They are probably enjoying this campaign more than anybody else because now they are at the center of it.

Are they really still undecided?
Not unless they just came out of coma.

Most have already made up their minds but they don't want to let on until after they cast their votes.

Some people just have to be difficult because it's a personality trait.
