[Yavin4]

Based on state by stae polling data, Bush has a lead. Here's the source for the poll:

1. What a stupid system of calculating

nt

[Hepburn]

2. Looks to me like...

....his data is old.

[Beetwasher]

This Guy Has LOTS of OLD Data

It's a load of crap. Already I saw WV, NH and NM going to Bush in his analysis. That's BS!

[Tempest]

3. About as useless as tits on a bull

Lots of assumptions and lots of unavailable data.

[LittleApple81]

8. LOL. Thanks. I needed that. n/t

[swag]

4. Looks like we have some work to do

Thank you for posting that.

[wuushew]

5. That can't be correct

unless some states were omitted that is an exact copy of Bush v Gore 2000. That being the case we should be at 260 electoral votes.


I am rereading the site to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.

[Beatrix]

24. Errr

Isn't it possible the electoral vote numbers have changed after the census? Each state gets as many electoral votes as it does congress people.

6. flawed

some of the states have kerry winning more or the same amount of polls by larger margins but were rewarded to bush anyways.

[KamaAina]

7. Is he counting the electoral votes for New Texas (Iraq)?

How many are they getting, anyway? </sarcasm>

What on Earth would make this guy think that Bush* is somehow more popular now than during Selection 2000?

[BevHarris]

9. Interesting. Florida in a dead heat.

Florida also in a knock-down drag-out fight for unauditable voting.

[qanda]

10. Wishful thinking

And wishful thinking never won anybody an election. If he wants to be taken seriously, he should lose the Bush-Cheney '04 graphic.

[Vickers]

11. From elsewhere on his site: "Just got back from the Reagan funeral..."

"...procession and I must say it was even more beautiful than even I was expecting."

Yeah, I trust this guy's numbers.

12. David Wissing: Rightwing Hack

Go to his main web page.

He's so pro-Bush he walks in circles to the right.

[AlCzervik]

13. The other rightwing hack Rasmussen has

15. Well, I'll be damned and the rest of us will be damned too

if Bush gets another term. I guess we are going to seriously have to work on impeachment and war crime indictments.

[smirkymonkey]

16. Sorry - As of Sunday, Zogby has Kerry

in the lead electorally.

17. Bush fan at electionprojection says it's Kerry by a mile

18. Another site thinks Bush 281, Kerry 257

http://www.federalreview.com/compositepoll.htm

but also shows (in a graph at the bottom of the page) results from other web sites - eg Kerry 337, Bush 201 (and that's a Bush supporter!). The spread shows that these sites are pretty wild in their predictions - 2 at about 25 in favour of Bush, 1 60 in favour of Kerry, and the one 130+ in favour of Kerry.

The predictions are fun, but unreliable.

[buff2]

19. LOL!

I don't think so.....wishful thinking coming from that guy. I really believe the idiot is just a temporary pRESIDENT. Bye Bye Georgie....better start planning your barbecues for next summer.....and please.....eat more pretzels. :freak:

[TexasSissy]

20. WTF? Thank goodness there's time to fix this.

[librechik]

21. here's a better one (Republican) Bush 201, Kerry 337

http://www.electionprojection.com/elections2004.html

more up to date and accurate! Gotta love that Blue map!

[funkybutt]

22. that's depressing

who knows who's right...

[Jim__]

23. From the same guy who came up with those numbers ...

DAVID WISSING fantasizes, "How great would it be if Nader costs another Democratic candidate a general election?"
- quoted at here

I suspect this guy's "poll" might have some bias.
