PB Post: Kerry squeaks ahead in Florida

[ryban]

For the first time this week, U.S. Sen. John Kerry on Friday pulled ahead of President Bush in Florida, according to a poll that has been tracking voter opinion in 10 key states.

Just three days before the election, The Palm Beach Post/Reuters/Zogby International poll showed that 47 percent of likely voters in the Sunshine State supported Kerry, while 45 percent of the 600 surveyed said they supported Bush.

Since Sunday, Bush has enjoyed a lead of 1 percent to 3 percent over the Democrat from Massachusetts.

But in a demonstration of just how volatile and tight the race has become, Florida was just one of six battleground states where allegiances shifted overnight.

While Kerry took Florida and Minnesota from Bush, the president picked up Ohio, Colorado and Iowa. Pennsylvania, which had been deadlocked, shifted slightly toward Kerry.

The president continued to command strong support in New Mexico, where he had a 9 percent lead on Friday. He also is hanging tough in Nevada, where he was up by 7 percent.

5. Alliances shifted overnight?

Uh, no. These "polls," do, however, show the "reality" of the Bushies: up is down, down is up. Bush has NO chance in OH, PA, WI, MI, MN, IA, or NM (Kerry is up by 10 not Bush). Dream on. You will wake up Nov 2 to reality and you won't be able to spin it.
