Gallup: Kerry Leads in Ohio and Tied in Missouri

[Beetwasher]

If Gallup has Kerry ahead slightly you can bet your ass his lead is bigger. Also keep in mind they are using "likely voters" which is a bullshit category that ALWAYS favors Bush w/out exception.

Ignore all these other bullshit polls being posted by another poster. He always posts polls from the most Bush friendly sources. Even Gallup, one of the most Bush friendly polling orgs doesn't have Bush in ahead in Ohio for instance.

PRINCETON, NJ -- New CNN/USA Today/Gallup surveys in three states won by President George W. Bush in 2000 all show close races. The president leads Sen. John Kerry by three to four percentage points in Florida, the two candidates are tied in Missouri, and Bush trails Kerry by five to six points in Ohio. In all three states, the economy is the most important issue among four measured in the polls, which also included Iraq, terrorism, and healthcare.

2. Sorry, Fixed, MO is TIED

That's "likely voters" though which always gives Bush better numbers...

3. BS Polls?

I don't always post pro-Bush polls. There's a Michigan poll I posted today that shows Kerry/Edwards ahead. I can't help it if the other polls aren't favorable.

5. I've Noticed That Many (if not all) Of The Polls

you post come from conservative leaning sources. Just my observation.

Michigan is not that close according to other polls I've seen, and yet you always post the polls that are most favorable to Bush, even if he's trailing. Again, just my observation. You certainly didn't post this Gallup poll that shows Kerry ahead in Ohio.

4. "Ohio -- Kerry leads Bush by 51% to 45%" ... this is "slight"??

I suppose if Kerry was ahead by 20% the news would describe it as a "small" lead.

i was scratching my head trying to figure out what big event took place that put bush ahead of kerry over the weekend? and the other polls seem to be pretty small samples.
