1. I suspect any poll which has Bush 50% or higher nationally

2. What's with these polls?

Every one that I see now says that Fuckface has a 2-3 point lead with represents a gain for Kerry of 2-3 points. What the fuck?

7. Bush isn't ahead by 2 or 3

It's a tie at worst.

3. this poll has...

Kerry closer among registered voters, btw.

[lancdem]

6. Not only closer, he actually leads Bush by 2, 48-46

They must be oversampling Repubs again in their LV sample.

8. Right on! Kerry is leading 48-46 among registered voters.

4. This poll had problems with its internals last time.

Is that still the case with this latest one?

5. Here we go again - the weekend - weekday tracking poll cycle. How

short our memories are. I remember when the tracking polls started in October 2000 Bush always made gains on weekends and Gore erased the gains the following week. I don't know why it happens but it appears to be a real phenomenom. As I recall, Tuesday was always the day when Gore would gain ground and Bush would lose ground.
