  • Gallup's numbers show a huge bounce for Kerry.

    Two-Way RV's
    Bush Kerry
    10/3 49 47
    9/26 54 41

    Two-way LV's
    Bush Kerry
    10/3 49 49
    9/26 52 44

    That's an 11 point bounce on RV's, and an 8 point bounce on LV's.

    Since Gallup significantly oversamples Republicans, Kerry probably has a few points lead on RV's.

    • What "huge" bounce? I don't really see a huge bounce there. Sorry.
      For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

        That is NOT moderation.
        You support the a growing line of left wing power hungry snobs like John Kerry. That is not moderation.

            I don't think Bush had a lead to begin with. I said this before. I think this nation is evenly split, but I believe Bush will win the election because some non-partisan registered voters as myself will vote for him instead of Kerry.

                  Did Gallup oversample Republicans this time? They go by Party ID, not Party Registration, which is more fluid and has changed as different candidates become stronger.

                  • Zogby: has it at Bush 46 - Kerry 45 (two way), Bush 46 - Kerry 43 (multiparty).

                    Pollster John Zogby: "The close race got even closer. There is some evidence that Kerry’s debate performance and increased clarity on the war has helped him consolidate at least some of the support that he has lost. But undecideds are up to 8 percent and there is still a month to go. There is also no doubt that Ralph Nader is hurting Kerry. The post convention bounce for Bush is over and his biggest hurdle is among undecided voters who give him a 31 percent positive job performance rating and a 69 percent negative rating. Only 13 percent of undecided voters feel that the president deserves re-election (his lowest yet) while 37 percent feel it is time for someone new.

                    Undecideds at 8 percent are high because we don’t push them until later. Five points of these are hard undecideds, two-points use to be with Kerry, and one point with Bush. How will they break in the end? Will they even vote?
                    All these polls tend to point to one thing - a close race within the margin of errors.

                      Actually Bush isn't. Check out the Rasmussen poll again.. Bush lost a stunning... -.4%... Kerry is going to lose the election. You must examine the facts real closely please. Then you can talk to me.

                      Edwards is goign to pwn Cheney. He's going to say HALLIBURTION WAS RUN BY CHENEY... and everyone is going to go, "man that guy is an ass... I like edwards"
                      He can't because Edwards is an idiot. Cheney is a very smart man. He's going to say Halliburton was run by Cheney? Boohoo, boohoo, boo ****ing hoo.. who the hell cares? Everybody already knows. How much wealth does Kerry have? Six multi-million dollar properties.. how much money does edwards have? FAR MORE THEN CHENEY.

                      • I think you underestimate Edwards, Giancarlo. The man didn't go from broke-ass white-trash to rich trial lawyer by being an idiot. And BTW, he defeated the Jesse Helm's political machine in North Carolina when he ran for the Senate.

                        So go on underestimating Edwards like you have been. The man is bright, intelligent, and an expert at shmoozing people over. We'll see on Tuesday.

                        But I'm sure even after Edwards pwns Cheney and the polls prove it, that you will continue to deny it.

                          I think you underestimate Cheney, big time too. Edwards is not very smart. I've seen plenty of lawyers who aren't very smart but have plenty of money.

                          You are underestimating Cheney big time. Cheney is very cunning, incredibly clever, highly intelligent and incredibly bright. He has a direct way of speaking as I've actually seen him in person when he was going to Italy last summer.

                          Cheney will PWN Edwards and the polls will prove it.

                          BTW... I have some very bad news for you Sava...



                          Bush holds a 5% lead according to that poll.

                          • Well, I might be under-estimating Cheney... but I've seen him speak. I saw him in the debate in 2000. He didn't come across as all that cunning.

                            He's not a stupid man... and I do think he's diabolically intelligent. But he's far from charismatic. And this ticket the Democrats have is the perfect 1-2 punch against the Bush ticket.

                            Kerry is smarter than Bush and pwns Bush in the debate.

                            Edwards is more charismatic and articulate than Cheney and will pwn in the debate.

                            Bush might still have an edge, like that poll suggests. But his lead is not strong. Kerry is closing the gap.

                            Just think back to the 2000 election. Nobody who voted for Gore is going to vote for Bush in 2004. But some non-voters, Nader voters, or disgruntled Republicans like Imran will vote Kerry. That will be the edge Kerry needs and that will be why Kerry is going to win. It's simple, but how can you argue against that reasoning?

                              I've actually seen him in person. Was about five feet away from him. These are things I noticed. He is a great speaker.

                              And this ticket the Democrats have is the perfect 1-2 punch against the Bush ticket.
                              That's utter crap and you know it. You know Cheney is a far better speaker then Edwards. Edwards is simplistic like Bush.

                              Kerry is smarter than Bush and pwns Bush in the debate.
                              Not totally according to polls. Bush's favorable image actually went up.

                              Edwards is more charismatic and articulate than Cheney and will pwn in the debate.
                              NOPE! Not at all.

                              Bush might still have an edge, like that poll suggests. But his lead is not strong. Kerry is closing the gap.
                              Not really. Kerry's momentum isn't that fast.

                              Just think back to the 2000 election. Nobody who voted for Gore is going to vote for Bush in 2004. But some non-voters, Nader voters, or disgruntled Republicans like Imran will vote Kerry. That will be the edge Kerry needs and that will be why Kerry is going to win. It's simple, but how can you argue against that reasoning?
                              Kerry can't win. Reason... because he is relying on voter blocs that are very weak, and Bush is relying on those who are stronger and he has the support of his party. Gore didn't secure enough support from his own party. You are wrong again. But what else is new? Just I'll remind you it when Bush in his second inauguration.
