I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
There's no evidence to support that "likelihood," however.
Undecideds tend to be people who are unhappy with the incumbent but waiting to see how things play out until the last moment. That's why they heavily break for challengers. Bush hasn't done anything to help his terrorism/security stand in the last week, and it has actually been hurt by the Al Qaaqaa story. Now the Bin Laden tape surfaces and reminds people that Bush has failed to capture him. And tonight 60 minutes is airing a damning story about the administration's ineptitude in planning and running the Iraq war.
If undecideds follow the momentum, they go Kerry.
Edit: And as an aside, the Gallup poll showed among RV that the biggest issue by far was the economy.
I'm still not sure how the Bin Ladin tape will play out.
In my opinion as yours it shows Bush's inability to get him.
But it could help him. It could remind americans that he is still alive, out there, and planning future 9/11 style attacks on the U.S. Americans may believe Bush is the best person to protect us from these as we haven't had an attack since 9/11.
The Washington Redskins game that is played before the election, is a good predictor of who will win the election.
If Washington wins, the President wins the election. If Washington loses, the President loses the election.
Today the Green Bay Packers OWNED the Redskins.
By that statistic, Bush will lose.
I don't think things are going to be as close as people think. I think Bush is going to get beat by at least 5 points.

Also can be read as, "we are overestimating Bush's chances."
Kinda like we overestimated his ability to tell the truth and find weapons of mass destruction.

But undecideds are breaking for Kerry.
But,...
"Since undecideds are likely to worse-case split their ballots, then being at fifty doesn't bother us at all," Dowd said. "And actual undecideds right now are slightly breaking towards us."
Newsweek and Pew do have Mr. Bush at or above 50.
Newport said historically the challenger gets more of the undecideds but he had no estimate of how they will split this year.

1. I was referring to the poll in this thread, not the election (see the previous post).
2. Matthew Dowd is Bush's personal pollster and strategist. Don't believe anything he says.
3. If you want to see how some of the undecideds are moving, check this out:
Most of the movement will happen when the undecideds actually vote, though.

"If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for her prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandmother. If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It's that fundamental belief -- I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper -- that makes this country work." - Barack Obama

No, Americans think Bush will win big.
*Cough* *Cough* Some of us think we'll see a 20 electoral college vote lead for Kerry followed by endless law suites filed by the Republicans as they attempt to change the results.
