12 days before 2000 elections (CNN/USA Today/Gallup ) Bush by 13 over Gore
I posted this to show all of you who are rattled by the last Gallup poll. 12 days before the 2000 election Gallup had Bush up by 13 points. Now check out what Zogby(Who nailed the election had) Then tell me what poll we need to keep an eye on.

CNN/USA Today/Gallup Presidential Preference (Oct. 24-26)
Margin of error +/- 4%
Bush 52%
Gore 39%
Buchanan 1%
Nader 4%

Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby Daily Tracking (Oct. 24-27)
Margin of error +/- 3%

Bush 44%
Gore 43%
Buchanan 1%
Nader 5%
Browne <1
Hagelin <1

3. As they say in the hood....
Don't believe the hype!

I'm talking to too many people who are going to vote in this election that didn't in 2000, especially in the African-American community.

We regard this election as a life or death survival issue. Our community can't afford four more years of Bushit.

2. I know what poll I pay attention to, but
does the general public know this? Obviously they don't. They see these BS Gallup polls and question their own thinking relative to the results. Gallup is a respected name even if their polls are skewed. That's my only concern.

4. Respected?
They are only respected because they been around the longest. Not because they are the best.

6. I don't ever remember the polls showing that big of a gap
between Gore and Bush. A month or two before the election, all polls had either Gore and Bush 1 or 2 points above/below the other.

8. What it tells us is what we already knew
CNN/Gallup is UNTRUSTWORTHY PRAVDA, released with one purpose only:

To legitimize the fraud and theft of the Imperial Family by issuing Corroborative LIES.

Undoubtedly these organizations are shot through with Bushevik Loyalists, front men and Psyops "workers".

Zogby is not YET, but as one of the few last remaining semi-honest and unparasitized pollsters, one has to believe they are targeted for infiltration to bring them in line with Bushevik Mockingbirds as far as the Lie Laundering and Fraud Ceritfying goes.

Watch those new applicants, Zogby. The Busheviks are comign for you. They cannot allow honest polling to prevail.

CANNOT. Watch yourself, Zogby.

10. Zogby
Zogby is the only poll I keep an eye on. If Kerry falls way behind in that poll then I will worry.

11. I agree with PA Dem
I tracked Zogby all through the summer of '00, and he was right on the money. Bush and Gore were almost always a point or two apart from each other; an electoral train wreck in the making.
