[saracat]

now!Bush ahead by one in Zogby!

[Barney Rocks]

1. impossible.

either he misspoke, or misread...I am sure that we are up by several points and I don't think we will ever fall behind again (not after 3 great debate performances)

[MidwestTransplant]

4. Zogby had a very strong day polling for Bush two days ago

It will fall off tomorrows number.

[rumguy]

9. NO!

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. eat shit, freeper!

Free republic is missing another idiot! Anyone who votes for the idiot-in-chief in 2004 doesn't have a fucking brain! He's a liar! Go back to freeperville!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

21. Ta ta Loser!

:hi:

[Jackpine Radical]

22. Jeez--I guess yas got ME nailed...

"a mindless typical Democrat, a have-nothing, live-in-a-shithole, the-world-owes-me-a-living LOSER."

[Cha]

26. Mindless idiots.

If they had a brain ..they'd be dangerous.

[Hello_Kitty]

24. Why the 'undeclared' gender in your profile Fotsy?

Does your wife keep your balls in a drawer? Go Cheney yourself.

[txindy]

25. Ah, another knuckle-dragging, cousin-lover

Bye!!!!!!!!

Moran!

[LittleClarkie]

27. Amazing boomerang effect

Could we send this guy out to the undecideds. Maybe with a carnival freakshow motif? Put him in a cage, collect everyones dime, and at just the right moment reveal him behind the curtain, shouting "This, THIS is a Bush supporter."

Lots of screaming and fainting and hiding of the children would ensue, after which we could sign them all up for absentee ballots. Eh? Eh?

[jackstraw45]

28. Fotsalot...welcome to my ignore list.

Ahh, now that's better.

[buff2]

31. Bu$h is an idiot.....

and attracts mindless dicks like you. Go cheney yourself.

[GiovanniC]

33. Ha ha ha!

Not even one of the more amusing little Freepers.

[yodermon]

36. HERE is the plan

It's over 250 pages. Read it, if you can.

[Zookeeper]

37. Hey, Pudding Brain!

Kerry mentioned during the first two debates that his plan is available on his website. There might be some big words, but if you grab a dictionary, you might be able to figure it out.

Oh yeah, I thought the Rethug talking point is that we're all rich, elitist intellectuals?

[HuskerDem]

38. Hey FARTS alot....................... The Chimp you worship is going DOWN

It's been quite entertaining watching him slowly fall apart.

President Kerry........ GET USED TO IT BABY!:toast:

[demwing]

40. LOL Thanks

I never get to see the freeper shits before they get tombstoned. My luck is changing, but I knew that when our "dumb shit know-nothing politician" stomped your Spineless Chickenhawk Chimp to a freaking PULP in three debates straight!

Can you feel that? CAN YOU FEEL THAT?

[JohnnyCougar]

42. Is that you, Karl Rove?

Are you projecting your weaknesses onto your rivals again? Funny how you call Kerry the dumbshit when you're the one who walks around in a mustard-stained white tank top in your trailer park abusing your wife and claiming that you love Jesus!

[Shadow30]

43. You are going to have such a bad day Nov.2nd

...just get use to this idea,Bush is just another brainless criminal asshole and he will get kicked out of office.Piss and moan over here all you want,it changes nothing.

[VOX]

44. For all his bluster, Fotsalot now slumbers quietly on Boot Hill...

We hardly knew him, but his kind are legion.

I am **so** looking forward to November 2.

[David Dunham]

2. That's a pre-debate poll (includes no one post-debate)

[Teaser]

3. It's a fluctuation. It happens.

A good day for Kerry rolled off the moving average.

There are statistics textbooks available at every local library.

[movonne]

5. Don't let them screw with your mind.....

[joefree1]

6. Ya do it like this ...

Tracking poll: Bush has built solid advantage

October 28, 2000
Web posted at: 3:57 p.m. EDT (1957 GMT)

By CNN Polling Director Keating Holland

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Saturday's CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll indicates GOP candidate Texas Gov. George W. Bush has built a solid advantage during the past few days over presidential rival, Democratic Vice President Al Gore.


Bush currently wins support from 49 percent of all likely voters, compared with 42 percent for Gore. Friday's poll showed Bush leading 52 percent to Gore's 39 percent.

8. yep - don't concern yourself with the daily (or even weekly ) fluctuations

[LisaM]

11. Stop scaring me with that article!

That's the second time you go me today, LOL.

[Wapsie B]

7. Just a blip on the screen.

Kerry/Edwards Landslide. Believe it.

[high density]

10. It's all movement within the margin of error.

It doesn't really mean anything. A one point difference means they're tied.

[RafterMan]

13. All movement is always within the margin of error

Bush could move from where he is now to zero on election day without any movement outside the margin of error.

[high density]

18. Well, I guess I didn't explain myself enough...

A one day blip of one point does not mean that Bush has some sort of trend going his way.

[RafterMan]

30. It's a two-day blip

Kerry led two days ago, tied yesterday, Bush leads today. I understood what you meant, but I think it's a mistake in general to write off unfavorable polls. In the Clark campaign, people shouted "margin of error!" all the way from 20% down to 12.

But I think we both agree that this does not mean the sky is falling.

[lancdem]

34. Zogby had the race tied two straight days before having Bush up 1 today

If Bush had a great polling day Monday, that will be gone in the tracking poll Friday.

[RafterMan]

35. Well, now I'm confused

Who had Kerry up 47-44 two days ago? Or was it three?

[lancdem]

41. It was Zogby

But then the race was a tie Tuesday and Wednesday in his poll.

[Pepperbelly]

12. Kerry Saves Busload of Blind Orphans... Bush's Lead Widens!!!

-snip-

In poll taken by Harris, Gallup and USA Today thirty-five seconds after the rescue, 62% of likely voters found that Kerry's heroism was "too showy."

Republicans were quick to jump on the incident.

"First he doesn't save a busload of blind orphans, then he does," drolled Vice President Dick Cheney. "This guy can't make up his mind."

"A hero?" asked House Majority leader Tom DeLay. "Ask the kid whose dog he chose to leave behind."

Thank you. :D

29. Swift Bus Blind Orphans for Truth releases series of ads....

32. Visibly reading the teleprompter

Rush still declares it the most honest piece of Kerry expose around . . .

[DemOperative]

14. Lotta people who don't show up on radar, that's how

We're doing it, people. Newly registered voters are setting records everywhere.

Even Zogby is only as good as his sample. Sounds like a LOT of repubs are getting interactive on his ass.

[lancdem]

15. Um, Bush and Kerry were tied yesterday in Zogby

No lead was "erased." Plus, Bush is at 46 percent, which is bad for an incumbent. Tracking polls fluctuate; it's the nature of the beast. The important thing is to see what happens when polls start to incorporate any effect from the final debate.

[louis c]

23. None of it has the 3rd debate bounce

and a previous reply was correct, there was a huge day three days ago for Kerry that has since fallen off.

In tracking polls, you need to hold the lead for the same amount of days that are tracked. Example: 7 days straight for a 7 day tracking poll, such as Rasmussen Battleground, and 3 days straight in Zogby and Rasmussen National polls. A one day "bump" has to work it's way through the track to become a firm and convincing number.

[brooklynite]

39. Don't get in a twist about the polls...

There are so many polls, and the margins are so close, they're going to bound between Kerry and W up until election day.
