Zogby: Kerry Gaining Ground

[Donny247]

Kerry is now down by only 2, and in the last day of polling, he was actually beating Bush by 2%:

"Pollster John Zogby: "The third debate is now registering among voters and Kerry had a good day, leading by two points today alone. He now is behind by only two overall. He managed today to regain a good lead among 18-29 year olds (especially 18-24 year olds, who he will need on November 2 to win). He also has consolidated his lead among Hispanics and is now only yielding 12 points to Bush among Democrats."

1. Sensational!

If we keep it close these last two weeks, which I'm sure we can--then on election day get out the vote--we will win.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Tuesday's CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll reflects no change in the tight presidential race, as Republican George W. Bush continues to hold a narrow edge over Democrat Al Gore.

Don't let the polls freak you out or the rethuglicans steal your vote.

8. "yielding 12 points to Bush among Democrats" ???

What the hell does that mean?

Sounds like Bush has a 12 point lead among Democrats, and I KNOW that can't be right.

Wait, Is that saying Kerry has 88% support among Dems?

Its Sunday, my brain needs a day of rest... :silly:

11. How hard is it for a Republican

to identify himself to a pollster as a Democrat for Bush?

I imagine not very!

[gcomeau]

15. It means 12% of Democrats voting Bush.

Although he phrased it in a very confusing way.

17. And it's weighted towards Southern Democrats

This isn't a "national" trend.

14. I'm looking at the actual poll

Sorry, I can't "link" it....

In the East Region it's Kerry 54% bush* 40%
In the South Region it's bush* 53% Kerry 37%
In the Central Great Lakes Region it's bush* 46% and Kerry 42%
In the West Region it's Kerry 46% and bush* 45%

Interesting notes:
--Largest Nader vote number came out of Central region, and largest number of undecided as well....8.6%
--Armed Forces voters are bush* 49% to Kerry 42%. A CIC polling under 50% with the Armed Forces? What's that tell you?

21. Polling and Stat junkies

If you are interested in seeing this entire poll PM me. I'll give you a private link for this poll that I've saved in a PDF format. But I'm going "off-line" right now so be patient. I WILL get back to you....

16. I had a feeling that

that last poll was a combination of a bad sample and minor Mary Cheney backlash.

GO, JOHN!!!
