Freepers attempt to console each other over Chimp-meister's dissapointing plummet in the Fox poll.

A couple of this to consider:
1) As have been made clear here on FR, Republicans always poll worse on the weekends.
2) Fox News/Opinion Dynamics is on a 2 day rolling average making it more volatile. A spike on a one day will make large swings in the poll.
3) Interesting enough this poll is showing a ceiling that Kerry doesn't seem to be able to get over. Kerry so far hasn't got above 46.

But didn't someone tell me that the last Fox poll should be regarded as really reliable? When's that one? Is this it? I'll say again: I pray God gives America what we need in a leader (between the two), not what we deserve.

PEOPLE,
Polls are score keeping, not score deciding. I am working phone banks in Reno this weekend. I am a Utah resident and flew here. This is not intended to be admirable because There Are People Here From Texas who did the same thing. The Texas Strike Force has 1500 willing to volunteer. They divided themselves among the ten battlegrounds. Phone banks are VERY HARD WORK, and maybe too much to ask of Freepers, who prefer to celebrate our progress online. But if you think you are tough enough to endure some hangups and even some "Yeah, we already voted Bush and I'm really glad you're working hard for him, where are you from and why are you supporting him?" That's the hard part. Forcing yourself not to celebrate with the early voter supporters. They Eat Time. You have to keep calling. It's about numbers. Anyway, if you think you're tough enough, get into a battlegound phone banks today and tomorrow. Have to drive 100 miles? Oh, okay, I guess that's too difficult. All you have to do is look online for a county campaign headquarters, call them and ask to volunteer. They will say yes. Get in your car and drive there, sit down, pick up a cellphone sitting there and start calling from the list.

This may be the final nail in FNC's coffin, I'm not buying any of this. I have often said that right near the end all of the MSM polls tend to show a virtual horse race, I don't believe it, our lead did not evaporate just like that, this is MSM desperate for attention.
