1. What Are You Concerned About

The Polls Mean NADA...........

[wyldwolf]

2. concerned about what?

[NDFan]

3. Screw the polls

One poll shows Bush ahead 6 points, another shows Kerry ahead one.

Presidential polling has been in decline the last eight years. It's all about TURNOUT, TURNOUT, TURNOUT, TURNOUT.

4. Instead of obsessing about polls, why don't you go out and work to help

elect Democrats? Ignore the polls, whether they are good or bad. All the polls are within the margin of error, anyway.

11. I've Walked Precints...

I wheeled my eighy six year old mother to vote last Saturday at 8:00
A.M.

I've walked precints.... I've handed out Kennedy for president leaflets in 1980 in Daytona Beach...


I bleed Democratic..

14. No offense, but we need the help NOW, not 24 years ago. Analyzing polls

does *not* help elect Democrats. Just, please, ignore the polls and quit wasting your time on them rather than helping out with the campaign in your area.

16. My Buddy And I Walked For Move On In His Neighborhood..

I own a business and am a full time caregiver to my 86 year old mom... DUers who I know in real life are aware of my predicament...

[w4rma]

19. My apologies, sir. Its just that I know many DUers are spending their time

quibbling and analyzing polls which is the absolute least productive thing (maybe even anti-productive since it gets other folks caught up into it, also) one can do.

I feel that too many Dems, whom aren't in your situation, spend too much time on analysis rather than getting out there and really doing the footwork required.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. It's Ok... No biggie... I'm Glad I Changed My Thread Title...

Worrying never make things better....

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I'm Going To Be Consistent

I will look at all the polls in their entirety and give Kerry a 2-3% boost because that is roughly the percentage pollsters underpolled Gore in 00...


I'm not going to be intellectually dishonest and pick a favorite pollster but I will pay special attention to Zogby's final poll on Monday...

Peace

7. Go check out Rasmussen

Kerry gained 1.2 points today, and the spread is only 0.8.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. That's Why I'm Not Concerned..

[DuaneBidoux]

10. This is weird...I saw two threads but didn't go into either one

One said Rasmussen had Shrub gaining like 1.5 points in the last day and the other said what you said..

[durablend]

12. Even better! job approval rating

*'s job approval rating is down to 50.4%(+)/49.6%(-)...the lowest since the republican convention. I think the movement may be starting.

9. im not happy about the Plain Dealer OH poll

Mason Dixon is a good polling firm with an excellent record.

Ohio is not locked up

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Mason Dixon Blew Delaware By Seventeen Points In 00

That's why you have to look at all the polls

[Snivi Yllom]

23. M-D also nailed 2002 down.

Lots of pollsters blew races by mig margins. However, you do have to see other polls, but Mason-Dixon was the best performing pollster in 2002.

They picked 22 out of 23 races right and had the closest results.

I think Ohio is dead even right now and it will be determined by turnout and/or theft/supression.

[DuaneBidoux]

18. Last Ohio Zogby also shows Shrub over Kerry

[ciaobox]

15. Concerned? STOP LOOKING AT POLLS HOMEY!

The time for poll obsessions is over. Kerry is a lock. We just need to work on GOTV.

Oct. 29, 2004 | Hey, come on progressives, buck up! There's been too much doom and gloom -- especially among inside-the-Beltway progressives -- about Kerry's chances on Nov. 2. Maybe they inherited an extra dour gene, or maybe they're spending too much time listening to pollsters and pundits. Of course there's the occasional discouraging campaign news, but don't wallow in it, for there's also greatly encouraging news.

Yes, I know that some polls have shown Bush running even with Kerry or ahead -- but the pollsters are vastly undercounting anti-Bush votes.


Yes, I know that Kerry's charisma quotient ranks somewhere between that of Al Gore and Michael Dukakis -- but John's been perking up lately, showing a bit of populist passion and striking some solid blows.

17. You are missing what matters

the only number that is an indicator in these horserace polls at this point is that Bush is polling below 50%, history says he can't overcome that. Undecided and soft support skews overwhelmingly to the challenger at this stage. In other words the president now has to hope to change minds in the last weekend to get votes and that just doesn't happen for an incumbent. Game set match. Otherwise the national poll numbers aren't an indicator of anything substantive, electorally speaking. Buck up little trooper!

21. TIPP today has it Bush 46 Kerry 44 Nader 2 (nt)
