This is THE question pollsters need to ask about Bush's chances

[Kimber Scott]

to be re-elected.

I am so sick of all these polls showing Bush behind on every question but this one: "Do you think he will be re-elected in November 2004?" It seems a majority always say, "Yes." So, I propose another question:

"If you think Bush will be reelected in November, do you think he will win fairly, or will he cheat?"

THAT'S the reason so many people think he will win, because they think he's already got the "hook up." I'd love to see how people answer my question.

1. Yes he'll cheat...

...but he won't win

2. I think you're right on

I don't think he can cheat ENOUGH to overcome the anger so many people have toward the guy. :grr:

3. how can we be really sure of any outcome anymore

it was soooo easy to cheat last time,

how can we stop it?

4. I agree with both of you.

I just wish it would be reflected in the polls for once. They need to ask the right question.

5. Why don't you email Zogby? He has a contact page on the website

"Dear John Zogby," they call it. . . I would love for you to send you post to him.

8. Dear John...

I'm wondering why, when you and other pollsters put out the question, "Do you think Bush will be re-elected in 2004?" you don't ask why, if they answer "yes." I'm thinking a lot of people believe he's already got some kind of hook-up with Diebold, or can use his money and power to "buy" the election some how. So, can you add a question like this? "If you believe Bush will win in November, why?" A. He will receive more votes. B. He will receive more electoral votes. C. Voting machines are being fixed to give him votes. D. Other

Thank you.

12. Response from John Zogby

"We will do that shortly. John Zogby"

I'm surprised he wrote back and I'm excited to see what happens in the polls with my question!

6. He wasn't elected the first time.

I wish people would get it right! The "re-elected" tag just keeps legitimizing Bush's dirty tricks and underhanded behaviour in the 2000 election.

9. I'm not one for semantics

We all know the deal.
