Honestly I think the AOL poll is a more accurate representation of voter opinion.

The dirty secret of polls -
Phone polls are reaching the "home at 2PM" crowd - overrepresenting the Jerry Springer demographic. They skew results toward the useless, unproductive brainless demographic, who all naturally lean toward the "whatcha gonna give me" Democratic candidates. But that demographic also largely does not vote. I would only be worried about one of these polls if it had a 12-15% margin for Kerry. A truely representative poll would call businesses and poll all working people - the ones who are routinely leading productive lives, also being the ones who vote. |

Exactly, I was going to point that out. These polls reach the people who don't work... which are typically either stay-at-home soccer moms or people receiving government handouts. Most of these types of people will vote for Kerry. It's the people who are at work during that time that will be giving Bush his landslide victory in November. I personally know of 4 people who have never voted in their life that are going to vote for Bush this year and I believe this situation is fairly common across the country. |

Well done Garandman. That sums it up. Polling is used to sell ad space. You can only run so many pit bull stories on the news. We call polling here (and I think we made up the term) "Statistical Crack" because the more you hear, the more you want. Even if most of it is meaningless. |

sgtar15 can't own hi caps. He loves in Kalifornistan, But to the larger point, I'm beginning to agree with him. HUGE (or at least very convincing) Bush win is pending. Enuf so, that since I live in SC, I think I have the luxury of sending a "message" vote to Bush, by voting for a more conservative candidate. The guys in Kali, Ohio, PA, Florida and other battle ground states DO NOT have that luxury and NEED to still vote for Bush. (If you remember Gobblin, I predicted over a year ago the AWB was dead. Liberalism is dying in America, hence the ragged scramble by Kennedy / Kerry / et all going bonkers. Liberalism is being replaced by GWB moderates. Conservatives are still without a place at the table, tho at least now we can speak to someone actually at the table. Here's to incremental victory) |

You guys are smoking Uncle Bob's Famous Tortilla Weed. I'm going to list the states that are 100% Kerry states. Notice there are more than five of them. IF ANY YOU CONTEST ANY OF THESE STATES, post why: 1. Massachusetts 2. Connecticut 3. Rhode Island 4. New York 5. New Jersey 6. Oregon 7. Minnesota 8. DC 9. Illinois 10. Maryland 11. Delaware 12. Wisconsin (This doesn't even include California, New Mexico, Washington, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Vermont, or Maine, among others) |

I'll say this - Bush is closer toward demonstrating obedience to Biblical commands than John Kerry is. Obedience to God has its rewards. So does disobedience. And Bush has his sins also. |

Gobblin -
Meauring the size of the potential win in states in the wrong way to look at it. Only thing that matters is electoral votes. All the states syou listed have very few electoral votes. Kali voted in a Repub governor - good chance Ahhnuld brings Kali home for Bush. |

So, are you suggesting that a Bush re-election is necessary to achieve this?
I believe God exists and that I haven't the foggiest idea what He knows about what the future of our country is. If you claim to know what God knows, by all means, write a book, make your millions, and hire me as your butler. |

The Bible specifies an end of the world judgment. How does your suggestion that "God plans goodness for the world" mesh with that?? Is it possible, JUST possible, God wants a Kerry win to usher in the "end times" bringing the Biblically prophesied "judgment day" about??? |

I like the contrast here:
"I find voters are blinded by their hatred of Bush and ignore the true issues," wrote AOL member Tarraballa on a messageboard related to the poll. "That is scary to me. Kerry may be winning in the war of 'hating Bush,' but he is not the best man for president. Do you honestly want Kerry in office when 9-11 hits again? I wouldn't." Another member, Rme22567, took Bush to task for the past four years. "He is treasonous, traitorous, too cowardly to even go to his cushy stateside assignment during Vietnam, and is the single most evil and incompetent, hateful president ever. Impeachment alone is too easy a sentence, he needs life in prison and should be charged with 928 counts of murder on U.S. soldiers." |

NJ and Wisconsin are VERY much in play. The democrats are shitting brings in NJ because the Governor is pulling some less than honest to deny them a vote on their next Governor... this will energize the Republicans, piss off a lot of democrats and cause many others to stay at home. Wisconsin is as close as 1 point in some recent polls. I have to say I disagree with Sarge on 45 states and think it will be closer to 40. |

In 2000 Bush carried all but 3 districts. In 2002 we elected a Repulican Governor and Senetor. In 2004 the Democrat Mayor of the largest liberal stronghold (Minneapolis) has endorsed Bush. |

online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-battleground04-0802print.html August 2nd - shows Kerry with a 4% lead - in OREGON. Factor in the margin of error for the poll and it is almost a statistical tie. By the way, see the 8/19 poll on California from Survey USA? Tied there also... |

3 of the 4 statewide offices are held by Republicans. The House became Republican in the last few years. The Senate became more Republican, but stayed Democrat. The Democratic mayor of St. Paul came out in favor of President Bush within the last month. Bush has been here at least 3 times in the last month. He wasn't here that many times in all of 2000 from what I remember. |

Hiramranger, i have to differ with you on jersey. by my VERY small world view of jersey bumper stickers, there are VERY FEW 'W' and a majority of Kerry on the backs of cars. with the (red) star ledger daily slamming bush this state will vote Demo-rat even if the Lord was running.
In Princeton, home of Paul Krugman, also see a lot of Nader stickers too. be well maxwell |

publicmind.fdu.edu/kerrystands/ While Bush may not win it, its not Kerry's for sure, and he is going to have to spend money and time to keep it if he wants it. |
