Default Have you seen the latest poll?

Even after Arnold's lies, Zell Miller's mental breakdown, and all the unsubstantiated garbage that sprouted from their every orifice, the latest Time poll shows Bush has opened a double digit lead on Kerry. We live in a video game country not a real one I guess. I'm tired.................................

Every poll I have seen has it at a statistical dead heat within the MOE.
Bush got a smaller than expected bounce, but a bounce nonetheless.

That was breaking news about ten minutes ago on CNN. I hope Moore's right about the first time or never registered voters pushing it in Kerry's favor.

Polls are snapshots in time from a relatively small pool. That's why I don't get too excited one way or another when a new poll comes out. Especially since I personally have never been polled in my 16+ years as a voter.

As far as CNN saying he has a 10 point lead, I haven't seen that yet, but I predicted some corporate outlet would try to peddle this nonsense.

True. And don't forget we've still got the debates. Fingers crossed, guys.

Another advantage Kerry has it that public opinion towards bush can change due to uncontrollable world and national events since he is the one holding the ball. These would have little effect on Kerry.
If polls proved true Howard Dean would be running against dolthead right now.

For what little it's worth, according to this the Time poll is the only one that is showing anything more than a tie.

Ever since I can remember whenever a telemarketer has called me I've hung up instantly. One time when I decided I wanted to screw with the "telemarketer" is ended up being a political pollster from Gallop. Made me wonder how many polls I have missed and even more importantly, it seems that people who don't instantly hang up on telemarketers couldn't be very representative.

Default Re: Have you seen the latest poll?

When I was down in NC on vacation, they called the house I was at and gave a really biased Republican poll over the phone. They asked me if I was "for people who fought deceitful and frivolous lawsuits". I said yes, because I know what they're trying to do. They put in negativity to make it seem like you're an asshole if you agree with it. And then they take those statistics to show people how much "support" they have.

Are you for allowing to have guns, which is protected by our second amendment right? I mean, if you say no, you're against freedom.

I had no idea they went about it that way thank you Queen for pointing it out, Man I've been out of sorts all day hearing that he was ahead by double digits. It makes my skin crawl.

The Time poll is definitely screwed up. On other questions asked such as support for the Iraq war the results changed 40 points, totally impossible. I think they blew it and their "random" sample ended up with mostly bushite half inch whippers.

Turns out the Time poll consisted of-
354 Republicans
311 Democrats
303 Independents

Hardly representive when you consider less than 10% of the voters are registered Independents. It was also conducted the night bush was giving his speech, whose most likely to be home watching the tube that night?
You all can quit worrying now, wait till next week for some real numbers.

I didn't realize I was an idiot for believing what the TV told me. I'm sorry you are right it was just the first thing I heard when I woke up, and it put me in a bad mood all day. I should of just looked up the source and discerned like I usually do but I was in a rush. Like I said before and Michael Moore has said it shouldn't even be close because he has drawn the ire of the never voted and 1st time voter crowd. Kerry will win. phew

what the FUCK are you incoherently babbling about now? You mean Michael Dukakis? If so, please specify, because seeing as how you're on a BEASTIE BOY message board, you're sounding like an idiot by calling him "Mike D".

And I've said it before, I'll say it again: Only way Bush II is winning this year is if it's rigged. Which is a possibility, because his brother controls Florida. And the Republicans will do ANYTHING to win. Even if it means killing babies in the street. There I said it.

Are you prepared to back that statement up? If not, please run along and troll. What ends up happening here is that you look dumb, others like you join in and look dumb, and ultimately time is burgled by yet another factless moron.

Apparently Rasmusen will discuss the phony Time and Newsweek polls this afternoon. It'll be interesting to see what they have to say.

Since you're not able to back that claim up. I'll go first.

On May 27th 2004, CNN Justice Department correspondent Kelli Arena spread the unsubstantiated myth that al Qaeda has a preference in the upcoming U.S. elections. Arena, who is supposed to be an objective journalist, claimed, "there is some speculation that al Qaeda believes it has a better chance of winning in Iraq if John Kerry is in the White House." Arena's comment came on the same day Kerry called for 40,000 more troops in Iraq.



ARENA: Neither John Kerry nor the president has said troops pulled out of Iraq any time soon. But there is some speculation that al Qaeda believes it has a better chance of winning in Iraq if John Kerry is in the White House.

I hope you're being sarcastic. If not, way to completely miss the point.

It's not the job of Kelli Arena to pass on unsubstantiated speculations. There is also the speculation that Al Qaeda likes things just like they are with President Idiot, but you don't hear Arena or any other corporate media whore repeating that on the air.

Well, now it seems there is great inconsistency amongst the various polls and Kerry has sought the guidance of some Clinton campaign advisors. Also, he has apparently talked to Clinton for 90 minutes on how he should proceed and scolded his current campaign advisor on some of her advice. This can only be good for Kerry.
