If that's the case - Kerry is actually up by 3-5 points....

2. Zogby called it right in 2000
One of only 2 polls to correctly predict Al Gore's victory. Gallup and the rest of the dinosaur polls still believed Bush had it won.

Hopefully in addition to finishing off the Bush Crime Family 11/2 we'll also prove once and for all just how bad the corporate polling companies are.

5. Gallup was under 2% for Gore in their final poll
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 06:54 PM by tritsofme
Zogby was under 2% for bush in their final poll, and was over 2% for Nader while Gallup was over 1% for Nader.

I don't see how either outfit was more "right" than the other.

3. It was 14%, believe it or not, on Oct. 27th, 2000.
53% to 39%.

Ridiculous, yes? How could they POSSIBLY be that far off?

7. Good thing for all the doom-and-gloomers who fall
...into suicidal despair because * gains a point or two over Kerry on some daily poll. These differences are all within the margin of error. Fourteen points, fourteen freaking points Gore's behind at this point in 2000 and he won the popular vote.

Kerry in a landslide.
