3 of the top 4 pollsters from 2000 have Kerry leading or tied
Edited on Sun Oct-31-04 10:15 AM by demdem
Zogby has it tied, Fox has Kerry up 1 and Harris has Kerry up 1. The only other poll that got it right in 2000 was CBS(NOT CBS/NYT). They have not released a new poll yet.

3. I decided to turn the news off till Tuesday eve...
After I tuned in MSNBC and they showed Bush "up in Ohio" on the Knight Ritter (sp?).. I can't remember if it was 2 pts, or 3.. They did say that was still within the margin, yada.. yada.. yada..

But no more Tweetie.. no more Woofwoof.. none of em! I'll tune back into cable news Tuesday eve.

I have TV Land on right now, LOL! :silly:

6. Good idea -- I'm doing the same
I've actually tuned it out for the last few weeks, too. I couldn't stand the lying anymore. I go to LBN for world and national news, and my local paper for local news. The only news I watch is Jon Stewart.

The TV is only used for entertainment, like TDS, West Wing and Lost. The next time I turn on cable news, they will be talking about how President Kerry wiped the floor with ex-resident Bush.

5. CBS 880 News and 1010 Wins news in NYC
Both like to quote the Newsweek poll that shows bush up by 6. Why do you suppose they like to do that?
