Time had AWOL up 6 over Gore

You can add about 4 or 5 points for Kerry to any LIKELY VOTER survey

1. This Is More Instructive

4. that's a good link for final polls but,

the chart at Polling Report looks at polls in the weeks leading up to the election. The point is that Gore was usually behind in the final 2 weeks.

6. I am aware that gore was down...

If fact I read that 39 out of the published final national pre election polls showed Woody winning..


I think this race will be razor close... I hope and pray Kerry wins but I don't have a clue who will win...

[sonicx]

2. yup, I've looked at that chart several times

If DU and the blogosphere were big back then, there'd have been mass suicides by liberals in late october.

3. someone posted an extraordanry piece this morning here

the point of which said: Incumbants that are polling 50% do not go up by election day, while their challengers go up on election day.

Point being: If you poll 50% and your the incumbant youve reached your peak, while the challenger will go up.

5. and that was gore vs an unknown bush

with an energized repub and an lethargic unsuspecting dem contingent.

now its bush with a madmans record, vs kerry, a much stronger candidate.
and a very energized, angry, anti-bush electorate.

7. I thought Zogby had 48/48

can't find it though.

8. Why is this different?

This page shows many polls with Gore up:

I think the dates of these polls are later than those on your page.

11. 2 out of 15+ isn't exactly many

But it is more than zero.

9. happened after the really bad bad convention too

10. I've Seen Comparisons of the Last Poll Before the Election

showing that Zogby had Gore winning by 2%, and Harris and Fox(!) had a dead heat.

One Edit: Doesn't take away from the basic point, though. The polls now are more favorable to Kerry than they were to Gore.

[dolstein]

12. WRONG -- the last Zogby poll showed Gore pulling ahead

Zogby was the only pollster to conduct a poll entirely over the weekend preceding election day. He was, therefore, the only pollster who was able to take into account the full impact of the last-minute revelation regarding Bush's DUI arrest.

All of the other polls failed to reflect a large swing in favor of Gore among late deciding voters. Voters who made up their minds during the final days of the campaign ended up voting for Gore by a margin of 2 to 1.

[pmbryant]

18. Yes

I thought there were several other daily tracking polls back then, though, including Washington Post/ABC and CNN/Gallup.

13. 10/18-20/00 # 40 51 1 4 4 718LV - Bush 51 Gore 40 CNN/Gallup JOKE!!

That polling organization is a complete joke.

10/24-26/00 # 39 52 1 4 4 851LV HAHAHA!! These utter fucking morons had Bush up 52-39 over Gore in their 10/24-10/26/2000 polling!! And we are worried about an 8 point lead now from these UTTER MORONS!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - these guys are retarded - look at the 9 point variation in their polls!!! These people should be dragged out into the street and shot! What a bunch of criminals trying to tell us their crap is "scientific" - my arse!! :eyes:

14. What was the final outcome in 2000?

I mean in terms of national (not electoral) votes... and how many "points" did Gore win by?

[Mr_Spock]

15. 500,000 votes is a small percentage - but Gore did win

These polling fools - especially Gallup need to go to jail for this attempt at electioneering.

[zaj]

16. 500,000 out of how many total votes in 2000?

Just curious what that % comes out to?

[pmbryant]

17. 100 million. Gore won by half a percent. (n/t)

[Zorra]

19. Yep. Kerry is going to get 300+ electoral votes, because

Dems have been full-on pissed since Bu$h stole the 2000 election, and new Dem voters have registered in unprecedented numbers. And

WE ARE UNITED!
