WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) expanded his slight lead over President Bush (news - web sites) to three points in a tight race for the White House, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Monday.


The Massachusetts senator held a 47-44 percent lead over Bush in the latest three-day tracking poll, up two points from Sunday. Bush's support dropped one point and Kerry's support rose one point in the new poll.

15. Thank the Lord! - Time for more photos of Kerry like this one! :-)

[demzilla]

33. I can see by the picture that he's

going to crush Chimpy's head (for all you Kids in the Hall fans)

[Eurobabe]

2. SSSSWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

Go John and John, kick those BushBOTS!

[AVID]

3. page 39 news - you wont see this on CNN

[cthrumatrix]

19. and that IS the story...the polls are ignored when Kerry is ahead.

[mia]

4. Great news!

Rated it too.

[Frances]

20. Rating it is important

I gave it a 5! and said a thank you prayer as well.

5. For every poll that has

Kerry up, there's one that has him down. The new WaPo post has Bush at 51 and Kerry at 46. That's also a three day tracking.
It's neck and neck. Kerry needs a strong showing in debate #3, and we need to get the vote out.

7. Zogby was much closer in 2000 than most of those polls.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

9. The other polls are: 1. polling more Republicans than Democrats...

...despite the fact that there are more registered Democrats nationwide; and/or 2., polling the most likely voters based on the patterns of the 2000 election; and/or 3., ignoring the huge increase in newly registered voters.

Zogby has been the most accurate poll since the 2000 election...why worry about the others?

[sonicx]

14. In Oct 2000, ABC/WP had Bush leading Gore by 3 to 4 points

in nearly every tracking poll.

[lancdem]

35. I agree that it's neck and neck

but even the WaPo tracking poll among RVS had Kerry going from 9 points down to 1 down in a week. I suspect their LV poll has more Repukes than Zogby's.

6. Code Orange! Duck!

Look! Over there! A terrorist wants to get you!!!

[NeoConsSuck]

8. But CNN reports Chimp holds a huge Electoral lead..

drop dead CNN. We know what your game is.

Hey CNN, why don't you visit this site:

10. freepers are having a hissy fit...

This freeptard thinks Bush will get a bounce from the debate.:7


How the hell is this happening?
It's not.

1. Zogby.

2. Three-day poll (i.e., first day was before the debate).

[DeaconBlues]

11. A bounce !!??!!

Why? Because he didn't wet himself and fall to the floor frothing at the mouth? Good God, those freepers must be clinically insane!

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

12. Imus this morning said kerry had no chance of winning

we'll see about that!:mad:

[JoFerret]

13. Kerry in a landslide

.

[Kira]

16. I don't believe he really supports

Kerry. He's a jerk.

[NoBorders]

17. on what basis did he say that?

That's the stupidest thing I've heard. I don't get Imus where I live, so I don't know his shtick. But I do know Kerry not only has a chance, but a good one, barring more Rove dirty tricks. Or perhaps that's what he meant.

[indypaul]

32. Didn't Imus also say

going to war in Iraq might be fun. Do not
take this man with a grain of salt you need
the whole damn salt mine for his opinions.

[Ravenseye]

18. Kerry 51 Bush 47 (others 1)

Thats my prediction for the final. Kerry is going to gain a point or two more this week, then by early next week after the last debate another point or so. He'll be up by about 6-7 points, but then will drop back to 4 points for the election. Possibly 5 points.

I predict Kerry 51% Bush 47% Others 1%
Electoral College - Kerry 327 Bush 211

[I Lean Left]

21. That would make Kerry the first

President to get more than 50% of the vote since 1988. That would be big.

[blue agave]

25. To whom does your missing 1% got to ?

.

[Ravenseye]

29. Nader, Greens, Libertarians, etc. (n/t)

[milkyway]

22. Beginning to see the effect of bush's hostile performance in the debate.

Kerry's lead will increase a few more points by Wednesday. bush's angry berating of Kerry, the audience, and all who question him was a total turn-off to undecideds, especially women. Kerry, on the other hand, was controlled, reasonable and Presidential.

[JoFerret]

24. Bushy had a temper tanty on TV

Kerry in a landslide if we get out the vote.

[LeinesRed]

31. exactly...

you can't be the sitting President and lose two debates...drip, drip, drip...

[Polemonium]

23. Kerry will win

Spread the news, spread the optomism, and keep your foot on the gas for the next few weeks.

[Mountainman]

26. WTF? Feinman says Bush leading in all the polls on Imus !

What's going on? Feinman whoring for Bush today? He's talking like Bush won the debate last week.

[takumi]

27. Fineman is a sphincter muscle

[Sunny2003]

28. Kerry 53 Bush 32 Nebraska Poll 2 Counties

The University of Nebraska Public Policy School Randomly polled two counties Lincoln and Landcaster--the result was a 21 point edge for Kerry--- WOWT and the other local TV station reported it last night on the 10pm news but I cannot locate any reference on the inter net.

30. Kick Time For Some Real News!

[UCLA Dem]

34. Its just above the margin of error too!! (i.e., 2.9%)
