CNN projects very tight race Bush winning EC 277 - 261

[HeldsBelds]

According to their projections, Kerry wins Ohio but still loses the election because of Iowa and Wisconsin.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush maintains a thin lead over John Kerry in the battle for electoral votes in a race so tight that, despite a national focus on three larger swing states, could be decided by states with less pull in the Electoral College, like Iowa, Wisconsin or New Mexico, a new CNN analysis indicates.

If the election were held today, Bush would win 277 electoral votes to Kerry's 261, according to a new CNN survey based on state polling, as well as interviews with campaign aides and independent analysts. The map is unchanged from last week. A candidate wins the election with 270 electoral votes, regardless of the popular vote.

Each week, CNN's political unit prepares a comprehensive analysis of the most recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup polling and public polling, combined with a look at turnout trends, interviews with strategists from both campaigns and parties, independent pollsters, and the latest campaign and party spending on advertising in the states.

Based on this analysis, CNN allocates states to each candidate to determine the breakdown of the Electoral College vote if the election were held today. The map is not a prediction of the Election Day outcome.

1. Yup, Wisconsin is the difference, there.

We take it along with OH, we win.

3. It's CNN.

And, as we all know, CNN blows.

[Walt Starr]

2. CNN has been whoring it up for Bush for four fucking years now

They are worse than Faux News and why anybody would pay attention to this propogandistic bullshit is beyond me!

12. CNN is Withering- Trying to get the FAUX viewers- Buh bye

CNN is fading into the dustbin of failed networks, sinking slowly to MSNBC levels. I was a regular til they swerved rightward. I'm enjoying having the TV off, except for sports- I get my info from Air America, DU and a few blogs. I like it.

26. 4 words "Owned by the Saudis"

I rest my case.

[fishnfla]

4. CNN was also crowing about a 90 day war in Iraq

2 years ago was it?

[Maiden England]

5. I'll never watch CNN again, except maybe to hear them eat

crow on how come their polling data was so off the mark it was bordering on fraudulent.

[Dudley_DUright]

6. Which implies for those in the reality based community

that Kerry wins in a landslide. :evilgrin:

[deadparrot]

7. WI, IA, NM: All going to *? Uh, no.

[billbuckhead]

14. CNN lied about the "weapons of mass destruction"

They're warmongers for a losing war.

[hansolsen]

19. if Rove's best hope is (IA and WI), then he has brown shorts for sure. NT

[DaveinMD]

8. we will win

WI and NM

[gavodotcom]

9. I wonder if they let Bush use his very own crayons.

That's bullshit. We all know it's bullshit. Carry on.

[BamaLefty]

17. BUllSHit

We will win NM, WI, IA... and are we going to have to give up 1/3 of Maine to the chimp? Shit I hope not.

10. WWII Berliner humor:

When the Reichsender says the Russians are in Lvov, they are in Warsaw.
When the Reichsender says the Russians are in Warsaw, they are in Breslau.
When the Reichsender says the Russians are in Breslau, DON'T OPEN THE DOOR!

11. CNN

They changed when Faux was getting on them during the first part of
Bushes war.

13. CNN >>> check this out

You should scan through the info on this site about CNN and why their polls and other calculations are inaccurate-

http://www.politicalamazon.com/polls.html

They also mention the r-ASS-mussen Report.. Specifically, on the poll he released stating that the military will heavily support Bush over Kerry.

They explain why polls such as CNN and r-ASS-mussen are pure bunk. :+

20. Who cares what the Crappy "News" Network says?

Kerry is going to WIN!!!!

:party: :party:

:toast: :toast:

:bounce: :bounce:

:headbang: :headbang:

15. New Mexico?

Their overloaded with dems this year,that shouldn't be close..and possibly 4 even if losing colorado =270 right there...theres just too many chances in other states also for Kerry..their desperate.

[sonicx]

16. oh for god's sake, IA will NOT go to bush. unless dems stay home(LOL)

WI and NM probably won't either. fuck cnn.

[Firespirit]

18. CNN is sooo full of it

NM is fine. The most recent poll I know of is Zogby which has Kerry up almost a full 10 percent. (http://www.race2004.net/states.php?state=nm) The only recent ones that show * up are Gallup and M-D, which might as well be Strategic Vision, they line up so well with it.

I thought that the other district in Maine was also looking OK again.

That still leaves the IA/WI problem. What's going on with that?? I mean, if we carry FL, it's irrelevant... but it sure would be unfortunate to have to depend on that state.


On edit: But at least they're admitting that Ohio is Blue now. That must say something about what the vote there really looks like!

[ThoughtCriminal]

21. My GUESS

and what else is there this year. They could be off by 27-60 EV's.

[noahmijo]

22. Umm Bush is NOT getting New Mexico and Arizona

Sorry CNN whores.

[yardwork]

23. CNN us wrong. Kerry will win in a landslide. That is my prediction.

[Sean Reynolds]

24. Kerry will take WI or IA and NM. So he wins.

This is my map:



Florida not in play, Kerry wins with 284 EC.

[Melodybe]

25. How nice of them, if they didn't do the exact same thing last time

I might be surprised.

Hello, is anyone here still stupid enough to believe them? They're ratings are for shit, they wish enough people were listening but they are not.

We are wise this time, last time their election theft blindsided us, this time we are waiting for it.

Thanks for posting, good to actually know for a fact that that is what they whores are saying.

[progressivebydesign]

27. As IF Kerry is only winning handful of States.. BULLSHIT. n/t

[progressivebydesign]

28. Oh.. and Kerry will win Florida. Unless George's cousin calls it again! nt

[Renew Deal]

29. CNN will do and say anything to make Kerry look bad.

It's unbelievable.
