What is the deal with Reuters and Zogby? I cannot believe that
Edited on Tue Oct-26-04 03:51 AM by saracat
Bush has any kind of a lead, or that considering the situation in Iraq is worsening is showing an improvement in his approval rating. If this is true, I am oughta here. I want nothing to do with a nation that wants this, but I don't believe this can be right. Is Zogby selling out??? He even has most of the undecideds breaking for Bush!

7. Everyone is always saying "wait"
The election is here. There can be no more waiting. These polls are weird. I don't understand why Bush has a lead at All.And I don't understand it coming from Zogby ,who everyone said we should trust.

9. Guess you do not have to think just do as Bush wants. Easy
This is to messy a business for a lot of people. I love it when they call into c-span and say that people should just get along. Just do as we are told.Odd to hear people say this about a man who thinks he talks to God and is always right but these people think that way. Sounds like how the Brits treated the India people, The Raj knows best and will do what is best for you.

3. Calm down!!!
The lead is within the margin of error! It is a 3-day tracking poll. Bush had a strong Friday and Saturday. Especially Saturday. Who knows why. Random fluctuations happen in polls!! Kerry was ahead today, but the 3-day average is Bush by 3. And it's still within the MOE. All other polls show a tie (minus gallup - which should be an asterisk by itself).

4. I hear you............
I don't understand it either. Apparently the "undecideds" have their head up their asses. I don't want to live in a country that is so enamored with war either. It may be time to start country shopping. I'm hoping that Zogby's poll takes a left turn here VERY quickly, another 4 years of Bush and Democracy in America is dead.

5. Read what Senator Gary Hart says about the polls
Gary Hart, the former senator and presidential candidate, has been around politics for a long time. That experience is telling him that John Kerry is going to win the US presidential election when America goes to the polls one week tomorrow.

"It's partly intuitive and partly based on several hidden votes that are not ," he said. "The hidden votes are new registrants who are overwhelmingly Democratic, disaffected Republicans who won't admit to a pollster they are not going to vote for their party, and young voters who are rightly concerned about conscription if Bush is re-elected. And many of those and do not show up in the usual polling."

Contrary to what the polls suggest, he believes the outcome might not even be particularly close. "Possibly not; two points to 48 points sounds close, or if you want to put Ralph Nader in at one, 51-48-1. But three percentage points in a massive electorate is quite a margin."
