Gallup poll of early voters in FL- You'll like this

[xrepub]

<<In Florida, 30% of registered voters said they already had cast their ballots, using early voting sites and absentee ballots. They supported Kerry 51%-43%.>>

[Oreo]

1. 51 + 43 = 94?

If they've already voted where's the other 6%?
Was there an option for no comment? If so it could be a wider margin.

4. Maybe the 6%

are now undecided after they voted...hahaha!

[glarius]

6. Maybe the 6% wouldn't say who they voted for????

Sounds like Kerry got about 57 % to me.

7. Rest probably voted 3rd party or refused to tell

2. The * spin on this

is that it is just front loading votes that would have gone Kerry anyway. Let us hope that that isn't true and that we are seeing lots and lots of new voters.

5. Per the "wonks" last night -- they're mostly NEW voters ..

organized by moveon.org and similar organizations -- i.e., they're people who would not have normally voted.

8. But the pugs re the ones who have REALLY been pushing early voting

We got three or four mailings from the GA republican party telling us to vote early.

Ever since my husband voted in the stupid Republican party primary in 2000 to vote for McCain instead of Bush we have been getting bombarded with pug mailings!

9. My 87-year old father

and his 78-year old girlfriend stood in line for an hour and a half to vote to John Kerry.

Determined they are.

People like that will maintain our democracy.

14. Exit Polls Much More accurate than phone polls

Polls of people exiting the polls are much more accurate than phone polls. The phone polls are only getting usable responses from about 30% of the people they try to call.
