1. That makes me a little nervous

The state polls are usually a lagging indecator. It seemed things were turning up in most polls in the last few days.

[flowomo]

3. yeah, this was an odd one given the way the others were trending

but their internals were disturbing..... Bush support was harder in previous polls

[lancdem]

4. Things are turning up

I have no idea what the internals are in this poll; probably an oversampling of Repukes.

17. Gore's 48% is Kerry's FLOOR not his ceiling any poll that says otherwise

is full of shit.

With whores like Bob Woodward in charge what the hell do you expect.

Man it is so sad to see a once great paper like the Washington Post fall so low.

[lancdem]

2. Remember what PeteNYC said Dem pollsters told him

LV polls are unreliable. The state polls contradict this.

[UCLA Dem]

5. bullocks!! everyone else has them tied. WP is right-wing anyway.

[Cocoa]

13. this one has them tied too

margin of error.

[RobertSeattle]

6. Should that be "Big Dip" -vs- JK ?

:evilgrin:

[UCLA Dem]

11. Yes!

[glitch]

7. Relax - they're just trying to keep Cheney from attacking an American city

Hope it works. ;-)

8. "big dip"?

wouldn't call 1 point "big"

[flowomo]

12. you are right.... and I edited....

[soleft]

9. What happened to the NBC/WSJ Poll that's supposedly tied

And I wonder if it comes out, will MSNBC trash their own poll and promote this one?

[WI_DEM]

10. that's nuts!

We have CBS, NBC, Zogby and Rasmussen out today showing a dead heat--so in other words F*ck ABC.

[West Coast Democrat]

14. This poll looked exactly the same for Bush* v Gore in 2000

Bush* was usually ahead by 4-5 points every day. Don't sweat this poll.

[Laelth]

15. Not worried at all ...

Gore was behind in all if not nearly all the polls right before the election, and we know what happened.

Ignore the polls (or try to, at least). Get out the vote! :toast:

16. It's ABC/WP

They're consistent but they trend conservative, just like Rasmussen.

If you want to stay sane, take these factors into account!
