Iowa Poll Early Voters: Kerry 52%, Bush 41%! 5% Not Voting For President

[Bombtrack]

Kerry edges ahead in Iowa with boost from early voters

Sen. John Kerry has taken a slender lead over President Bush in Iowa as the 2004 presidential race nears the finish line.

The Des Moines Register's Iowa Poll shows 48 percent of Iowans likely to vote in Tuesday's election, or who have already voted by absentee ballot, support the Democratic candidate and 45 percent back the Republican incumbent. The poll's margin of error is 3.5 percentage points.

Six percent of likely voters remain undecided in the new Iowa Poll. With the race still close, they could play a pivotal role in determining which candidate wins the seven electoral votes from Iowa, viewed as a battleground state that either could carry. In other elections, undecided voters have tended to side with the challenger, which would be good news for Kerry. ... http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041030/NEWS09/41030009/1001

1. 5% not voting for president..

you mean they just voted for local stuff and didn't vote for anyone for president?

[Blasphemer]

5. I'd love to know the party breakdown of that 5%

I would think that they would be mostly Repubs - not supporting Bush but still wanting to support local and Congressional republicans.

9. I'm sure it's Repub Mods, Evangelicals and Indies.

Plus some Fiscal COnservakooks.

It's not the Dems!

It's the Rs, that's why Kerry is so way ahead!

THIS 5% NO-VOTE PROTEST WILL HOLD UP AROUND THE COUNTRY EXCEPT MAYBE IN THE MORE CONSERVATIVE PLACES.

WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPREAD FAR AND WIDE TO ENERGIZE DEMS AND DEPRESS REPUBS!

When a Republican is up by 11%, it means everyone adores him, except trators.

13. If the chimp had an 11 point edge

the article would read, "* leaps ahead in Iowa with huge boost from early voters....President * has taken an enormous lead over..."

Shameful whoring.

[Shadow30]

14. Hell it could be 90% Kerry ,10% Bush and the press would say...

...John Kerry has a moderate edge over the president.Fucking press whores!

[ogradda]

16. hehehe i could hear that too

only they'd probably say "might have" a moderate edge.

17. Iowa

From all I've heard, Kerry leads comfortably in Iowa. Let's hope we get an honest count so that the good guys will get the electoral votes.

Go Iowa!:)

19. Yeah, of the 3 in the upper midwest that should concern us as far as being

tossups, Iowa is the whitest, and therefor I think the one most likely to not have that big differential with the polls not being weighted for minorities, and therefor the one that concerns me the most.

18. Egads!

"I feel more secure having President Bush another four years," said Robison, 32, a political independent who voted for Ralph Nader four years ago. While she likes Kerry's positions on health care and abortion, "he just seems to flip back and forth on different issues, and that does concern me."

Stupid, insecure, fearful woman. :eyes:
