Kerry doubled his lead from last week, and this is the biggest lead he's had since before the RNC.

That's two nontracking polls out today with Kerry up 3 (Democracy Corps) and 4 (Economist).

Still not there yet!

2. GREEAT NEWS! These guys and ARG are the BEST, most consistent pollsters.

They do a truly scientific poll of OVER 2000 (2% MOE).

Tight. Good Fit. Feels Good.

3. me too truth. i say this every time (no matter the news) - the economist

is the one i like best because of their sample size and consistency (in the questions they ask etc). they arent trying to manipulate the information, they are trying to gather it! imagine that

i love the internals too. ive watched this poll over the months, and it looks like the male vote is perfectly even betweenbush and kerry, which is great news, women still up for kerry by about 10% which is pretty consistent, and even seniors are moving towards kerry which had been for bush earlier

and when you look at approve/disapprove, the numbers have gotten a little worse for bush just from last poll.
plus when they ask what are you most likely to do on nov 2, then kerry receives 50% of the vote

the internals look good here....

6. Seniors are moving toward Kerry because...

of the flu vaccine scandal. All that has to happen is a senior voter not being able to get their shot to force them to consider who was in charge and that maybe they should switch their vote to Kerry.

4. 51-47 is my estimate. nt

7. My prediction is similar

Kerry: 51.9%
Bush: 46.8%
Other: 1.3%

[West Coast Democrat]

5. With leaners, Kerry has 50% to Bush's 45%....

with 4% saying they'll vote for either Nader or another candidate, and 1% saying they won't vote.

8. The Final Result, Ma'am

Will be 52% President Kerry, 47% to the Andover cheer-leader, and 1% sundry others....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"
