07/22/04: Race Neck and Neck (Fox News)

[UVAlaw]

Even Fox has the race tied now. I don't believe I have seen a Fox poll that had Kerry even or ahead. Note how Kerry's leads are "slight" or "narrow" while Bush's are "significant."

"In the two-way presidential matchup, the poll finds Bush and Kerry both at 44 percent. When independent candidate Ralph Nader is included, he receives four percent, Bush 43 percent and Kerry 42 percent. The new results are clearly well within the poll’s margin of error, as has been the case in almost all FOX News poll presidential matchups for more than three months."

4. If Faux says this the shrub must be down by 30

or maybe they're just trying to rally the freeper-troops.

5. Gallup has it at 49 to 47 Kerry n/t

6. There is NO WAY Nader has four percent

He only got 2.74 percent in 2000, and the bad rep he's gotten this time will only bring that down. Sound's like Fox is really amplifying Nader's appeal.

8. and he might be on only about ten ballots

13. Nobody Really Has to Vote for Nader for him to cost us votes

> Sound's like Fox is really amplifying Nader's appeal.

so will Diebold.

Nader's role is to make their rigged election counts believable.

7. who gives a flying cheney? it doesn't MATTER. what matters is the elect-

oral vote count. and Kerry has that sewed up. bushco is bushed.

Electoral Vote Predictor 2004:   Kerry 332   Bush 195

9. Very odd results there, but encouraging

West coast, for instance. I'd expect California and Washington to be stronger for Kerry than backwater Oregon (yes, I live in Oregon).

Or DSW. Arizona is in the Kerry column? That's a shocker.

Florida... I'm still thinkin' we'd better write that one off.

But the best part is, if Kerry only gets the strong, weak, and 1/2 of the "barely Kerry" electorals, he wins with 289 EV. The bushistas are going to have to engage in some serious election theft to win, if this site is an accurate representation of the vote in November.

10. Hoping for some love

I can't see Kerry winning Missouri, Florida, Arkansas, North Carolina (my home state), Virginia, Tennessee, or Louisiana regardless of what the polls say. Unfortunately there are too many conservative white southerners who will vote for the party they think will outlaw gay marriage (which affects very few in a practical sense)or work to keep immigrants out of America. Means he needs to pick up Ohio, West Virginia, or one of the western states.

11. Bush was up like ten points in the last FAUX poll...

and was like up 17 in Pa, and 13 in Florida. I guess they changed the results after they looked like jackasses for not having their polls consistent with other polls done by more respectable media outlets.
