"Poll: Kerry Gaining Among Swing Voters"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Sen. John Kerry gained some ground on President Bush among swing voters in the last month, with several citing the presidential debates as a factor in their shift, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press called back 519 voters who were either undecided in September or said they could still change their minds. That group tilted toward Bush in September and is now evenly split on Bush and Kerry.

By more than 3-to-1, the swing voters said Kerry did the better job in the debates.

Swing voters "have been drifting toward Kerry a little more than Bush," said Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center. "But everything about the remaining slice of the electorate says it's pretty much even."

2. I don't see this as bad news at all.

In a poll of undecideds that was slanted toward bush* 34% - 28%, Kerry goes into the lead with 40% while bush* only edges up by 4% to 38%. That's a 3 to 1 advantage there. I can only pray that the rest of the undecideds out there vote for Kerry in that margin.
