... Also, TN, NC, and VA are within the MOE according the latest Zogby state polls.

Here is the complete email...

======================================================
Tracking polls:
We always list Bush first, then Kerry in these.

DATE ZOGBY RASMUSSEN WA POST ABC/WP
10 11-13 46-45 48.1-45.9 48-48 47-47
10 10-12 45.3-44.8 47.6-46.2 48-49
46-48
10 9-11 45.2-44.6 47.4-45.8 50-47 46-48

As in all polling, take 'em with a grain of salt whether good or bad,
they
are only a snapshot, albeit in this case averaged over three days,
based on
specific methodolgies used by the poolsters and they are not the final word!

Debate Polls:

From Emerging Democratic Majority Weblog, I thought this chart useful to counter any Republican spin about debate results. All numbers show
Kerry
first:

DEBATE I (30.9)
ABC 45-36
CBS 44-26 (Uncommitted Voters only)
CNN/Gallup 53-37
60-29 (Independent Voters)
Democracy Corps 45-32
ARG 51-41

DEBATE II (8.10)
ABC 44.41
CNN 47-45
Democracy Corps 45-37

DEBATE III (13.10)
ABC 42-41
CNN 52-39
54-34 (Independent voters)
CBS 39-25
29% said Kerry had clear position on issues BEFORE
debate
60% said Kerry had clear position on issue AFTER debate. Democracy Corps 41-36

In sum, Kerry won every poll after each debate. Enough said.

YouGov/Economis polling: We had not been following this poll (I have mentioned a couple of times), but they are the only one with MOE around
2%,
i.e. statistically more reliable:

DATE MOE BUSH KERRY NADER UND
10 11-12 2.1 45 47 1
10 4-5 2.1 46 47 1
9 27-29 2.0 46 46 2
9 20-22 2.1 45 46 1

Also interesting from the same poll:
How Things are going/How Bush is handling his job

Things Going? Job Handling?
DATE SAT DISSAT WELL NOT WELL
10 11-12 40 57 44 52
10 4-5 41 55 45 51
9 27-29 40 56 45 52
9 20-22 38 58 43 53

Interesting that these numbers are not good and have been that way for
some
time.

Senate Update. South Carolina. We mentioned yesterday that Inez
Tenenbaum
is still in the race. Late pooling I didn't get before going to press
with
DCR:

DATE POLLSTER MOE De Mint Tenenbaum
10 10-12 Survey USA 4.4 46 43
9 20-22 Survey USA 4.4 51 39

She's back in it, could be a vital hold for us.

Factors in this race. You know that more than the issues will play a
role
in the result on Nov. 2. Turnout is one of the most important and suppression of the turnout is a key Republican tactic. At www.MyDD.com
is
a list of states where Republicans currently have vote suppression campaigns going on. Worth a look. The states are: Colorado. Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Wisconsin.
Strange that there aren't any in Nebraska or Massachusetts.

More scandal. In addition to the efforts mentioned above, the
Democratic
Party of New Hampshire has gone to court and named Jim Tobin, New
England
GOP Campaign Chair, as the unindicted co-conspiritor in the Phone Bank scandal from the 2002 election (where Republicans used phone blocking technology to block 5-6 Dem phone lines on election day to prevent
people
from calling and asking for a ride to the polls.). The State court has agreed to allow the NHDP to continue to collect evidence and to depose witnesses. But, in steps the Ashcroft Justice Dept to block the action, claiming that it's criminal investigation will be harmed if Dem lawyers interview key witnesses and defendents before the election. The Justice Dept did not do this in the similar state court actions concerning
Enron,
WorldCom and Global Crossing. The NHDP is also suing the Republican
Party
of NH for not providing documents pursuant to a judge's order.

GOP tactic update. Kerry's comment, which was very kind, about Cheney's daughter is being used by the GOP as a wedge issue. Lynn Cheney has
called
Kerry "not a good man" for even mentioning her in the debate, even
though
Dick thanked Edwards for a similar comment in the VP debate. Poor Mary....



Now for our Friday look at our Blue States. Not too much to update for
the
same reasons that are occuring in the Red States.

COMMENT: Kerry: 3 EVs.

BOTTOM LINE. Blue states are in good hands, major leads everywehere.

For comparison purposes from last week:
Kerry 147, Bush 0 in the Blue States. So at the end of the fourth week before the election, We show Bush 294, Kerry 244. As we move through
the
remaining three weeks plus, this will be the baseline we work from.

We will update our master chart every day until Election Day with the
new
data for each category of state.

10. really?

Whoever it is, s/he's working off major public Democratic blogs to get Congressional race info? (Btw, iirc kos reports Phil Crane at 46% in a Bean internal polling yesterday.)

And I'm curious about how exactly your source gets to 275 EVs for Kerry. The first 235 are easy enough, of course, but what's the guess on where K/E breaks into the Iron Triangle of OH/FL/NV?
