2. Statistical fluctuations don't need to make sense. |
|
Remember that ABC/Washington Post predicted Bush would win by 3% in 2000.

3. Turnout is all that matters |
|
Read Skinner's thread on the front page about how optimistic Kerry's people are.

10. Yes, and one interesting thing under Trends |
|
Message: was that bush had a 9% (vs 6%) chance to change mind (91% of bush supporters say they will definitely vote for him vs. 94% of Kerry supporters). The demographics are also rather different than previously. May have just hit a red patch.

4. Kerry's big Sunday just moved off the average |
|
They said Sat and Sunday were his best days ever in this poll, so this uptick was to be expected.
It is a 4 day rolling average.

5. WaPO is a RW propaganda rag |
|
They are saying Bunnypants is "ahead" by 3% because they know that all other internal polls have his ceiling at 47%, ergo, they just bumped it up to make him look better.
