1. Nader Has 0

ROTLMFAO

[jefferson_dem]

2. I'll take that. Surging at just the right time!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. I Knew It Was Good

cuz a DUer told us it was coming...


I asked about the Newsweek poll and some freeper prick said Kerry was up by 6...


He's tombstoned now....

[slestak]

3. it's all good

he still can't get above 50. Chimpy is toast

[AntiFascist]

5. The Bush crowd today.....

looked particularly excited about his "changing weather" comment. Don't underestimate their tactics.

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. bush down one, kerry up one

at this point, this poll is pretty meaningless.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. why...

The polls are confirming one another.......

a tiny kerry lead


a tiny bush lead


or a

tie...


No poll can give you 100% specificity...

[THUNDER HANDS]

10. in a poll with both men essentially within 1 point or 2 points

It should just be labeled too close to call. They should only start saying someone is ahead when they break through with a 4 or 5 point lead.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I Agree... (nt)

If we are down less than 3 in the poll of polls on Monday I like our chances...


Of course I like them better if they show we are ahead...

[blackcat77]

7. YES YES YES!

The pundits must be going crazy.

And the RWers must be getting out the vats for the Kool Aid.

If Kerry could gain after yesterday, Bush has NOTHING. Nothing!

9. An incumbent needs several points in order to win over a challenger.

Isn't that the conventional wisdom?

11. What did the WaPo poll of Sat before say in 2000?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. 48 or 49- 45 For The Asshat...

[rockydem]

14. My friend maintains this is wrong somehow

That * is indeed up by four in the Wapo poll.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. Maybe He Polled His Family (nt)

[exsoccermom]

22. They haven't updated Trends and Demographic

You have to look at the dates--those and "Today's Full Results" are for Friday.

[jefferson_dem]

16. LOL!!! "Don't believe it," grunts one inbred freeper at freeperville.

I just scooted over to see their reactions to Kerry's surge. Check out this little pearl of wisdom from one knuckle-dragger!

"Everybody I know is voting for Bush. He'll get over 60% on Tuesday. The socialists are just messing with us."

17. check out that moron's sigline

"(Demonrats: The End is Near!)"

Dear God where do people like this come from? How do the survive in the world?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. I'd Like To See The Educational Level Of Some Of Those Posters...

19. "Everybody I know is voting for Bush....."

Makes you wonder, how many people he knows.

[blackcat77]

23. I don't speak Freeper -- what is "MSM"? nt

[jefferson_dem]

25. mainstream media

[blackcat77]

26. thanks!

18. Weekend polls are innaccurate

[jefferson_dem]

21. Inaccurate according to what? Last night's sample was valid for Friday

just as a Tuesday's sample was valid for Tuesday. No less accurate at all. In fact, I would argue that Dem-friendly voters are LESS likely to be home on a Friday than Rep-friendly ones. So, it may be even be more of a Kerry surge than what we are seeing.

By the way, are you optimistic? Positive? Happy to be here?

[Awsi Dooger]

24. Why does that poll always have so few undecideds?

I wouldn't mind a 1 point deficit as much if it were 47-46, with more margin to overtake via undecideds.

27. Final 1976 Gallup Poll

Ford 50

Carter 48


We know how that turned out..



And I guess WAPO is really pushing the leaners...

[Shopaholic]

28. But the good news in this poll is that * has dropped a point since

yesterday and that Kerry has gone up a point with only a 1 point lead by *. I heard Craig Crawford say on MSNBC that privately the * folks were saying that the OBL tape helped them because they got more support when people were scared. Crawford couldn't believe they were saying this off-the-record. But the polls (at least the ones that have come out since the tape has come out) show that the tape has hurt *--reminding them that OBL is very much alive and well and still threatning the USA.
