Iowa Early Voters Polled: KERRY 52%, SMIRK 41%

[Dems Will Win]

This includes absentees, folks!! The Des Moines Register's Iowa Poll!

Twenty-seven percent of Iowa adults surveyed said they had already voted. Kerry leads Bush, 52 percent to 41 percent, among that group of early-bird voters. Among the 73 percent who said they definitely would vote on Tuesday, Kerry and Bush are tied.

19. This means 6 or 7% did not vote for President

All Bush leaners it seems!

2. Iowa is OURS.

So is Wisconsin.

So Bush's camp can give-up on these fantasies of "losing Ohio but picking-off both Wisconsin and Iowa to kinda balance things out."

It ain't gonna happen, Bushies.

Ohio or Florida. Or both. We win.

10. I'm in Ohio, and I really don't know

how it's going to shake out at this point. It's divided like I've never seen before EVER. If we can get out the vote in Northeast Ohio, where I am, we just might be able to do it. I think Florida will go for Kerry, despite King Caligula---uh, I mean Jeb's-attempts to steal it like he did in 2000.

4. Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!

The Bush campaign must be seeing these numbers and imploding.

Young voters, minority voters, single voters...who are ALL harder to reach for polling...WILL VOTE FOR KERRY!!!

20. VOTE!

[requiem99]

5. That feels GOOD.

[The_Casual_Observer]

6. Right, the Tuesday ones are going to be that much different than the early

voters? I don't think so!

[mconvente]

7. YES!!!

Thank you Iowa!!! Read on a recent post here that McAulfie (sp?) said that over 6 million Floridians have voted and Kerry leads by 10 points in early vote totals (maybe exit poll surveys or such?) I can feel it!!! All-nighter on Tuesday!!

25. Sorry McAuillfe said 6M nationawide, only 1.6 or so for Florida.

[TwilightZone]

8. JK did unexpectedly well in Iowa in the primaries. Let's hope for a repeat

in the general election!

This is great news. Let's hope that it's indicative of other battleground states, particularly OH, PA, WI, and FL!

9. Kerry 283 Bush 246

Yesterday Kerry was way below Bush!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

12. Their current scenario looks a lot like my predictions.

You can't sweat the 50-60 vote swings that happen every day there, because if they get one poll that comes in changing FLA by a point, then the whole race changes 50 or more. Get it? Just a way to keep up with state polls...

11. Bingo---it was those absentees that put Gore over last time!!

Remember that on election night Gore actually did not win Iowa..it was the absentee ballots that gave him a 4,000 lead. Looks like that is exactly what is happening. I didn't think the state of my birth had gone off the deep end. We ARE going to take these midwestern states, add NH, take Ohio and probably lose NM---but, I think that adds up to WIN, doesn't it?????????????

15. Hey, nice to see you again!

Did you say you were born in Dubuque also? Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. Please accept my apologies. I will get in touch soon.

13. The first real concrete good news I've seen

It takes nothing to tear me up at this point. Basketcase here over the breadbasket!

16. Wow, Newsweek on Powell...Could Be a Big Blow.

17. wow

that's it. It's over for chimpy. It has been over, but it's officially over now. Let's just hope newsweek has the balls to put it on their website. Daily Kos rules!

18. KICK

[Ishoutandscream]

21. Absolutely! Totally devastating!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Unless I'm Really Stupid Doesn't That Make Iowa A Virtual Lock?

[Dems Will Win]

23. You are obviously not really stupid

If this holds up, Kerry would win around 55% to 44% for Bush with 1% going to Nader.

Iowa is so much like other states, the same 5% DON'T VOTE PROTEST for Bush can be expected in all the battlegrounds except maybe WV, MO and AR.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Shit! Thanks for the pick me up!

:bounce:

26. Huge win if it plays out like this.

Winning Iowa would be HUGE.
