What gives? Is it just a last minute adjustment so they can say "see, it's all within the margin of error".

1. Some have it the other way around like Fox and Marist.

2. Nearly everything is tied or within one point one way or the other.
They want to keep it close, so they can boast.

3. That's what I thought
If they think they're going to discourage us by putting Bush up by 1%, they are wrong. It's just 1% more that they'll be wrong by.

I still think we'd win even if Zogby has Kerry behind a bit, but thanks for the info. :bounce:

9. Every poll I've seen today has it within 2 either way
Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 05:46 PM by slim
FOX has Kerry up 2, TIPP has Kerry down 2 ... tho that is a 3 point gain for Kerry. FOX is a 2 point gain for Kerry.


It's been a good day in the polls for us.
