Kerry Overtakes Bush in Swing States, Nationwide

[BaysideLiberal]

July 22 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic challenger John Kerry this month overtook U.S. President George W. Bush among voters in swing states and nationwide, according to a poll conducted by the Washington-based Pew Research Center.

The four-term senator from Massachusetts leads Bush 47 percent to 41 percent in states where the November election is expected to be closest, the Pew organization said on its Web site without specifying the states. That compares with an 11 percentage-point lead that Bush, 58, held last month.

A review of state-by-state polls and historical voting data by Bloomberg News shows Bush ahead in 19 states, including Texas and Indiana, with 155 electoral votes. Kerry leads in 11 states, including New York and California, with 168 electoral votes. In 20 states that have 215 electoral votes, including Florida and Arizona, results of the most recent polls are within the margin of error.

1. They're gonna start putting machinery in place to steal the election

in every state but Florida. All eyes are on Florida right now, so it's a perfect smokescreen...Jeb probably personally asked CNN to sue for the list. We need to be keeping a real close eye on OHIO right now, or Neil Young may be soon writing another song about it.
