Still no evidence that Swift boat liars are hurting Kerry |
|
The Swift boat liars ads have been out for about two weeks and there is no signicant change in the numbers. Kerry is consistantly between 47-49 and Bush 45-47. Election 2004 Date Bush Kerry Today 46 47 Aug 22 47 47 Aug 21 47 47 Aug 20 47 48 Aug 19 46 48 Aug 18 46 48 Aug 17 46 49 Aug 16 47 48 Aug 15 46 48 Aug 14 46 47 Aug 13 46 48 Aug 12 45 48 Aug 11 46 49 Aug 10 46 49 http://www.rasmussenreports.com/Presidential_Tracking_Poll.htm

These liars need to be held to account. We must start with the President.

has been remarkably consistent for the month. I will want to see what more independent polls indicate as well.

3. It looks like he may have slipped |
|
in the last several days. He's been at 47, which he hadn't been for several days...Of course there was the convention bounce and he was at 49.
Rasmussen's tracking poll seems very difficult to make much sense out of but trends show a small slip. I'd also expect a Bush bounce during the convention.
Either way, Kerry's holding on OK. He's got at least a one point lead consistantly...It seemed to have tightened a bit over the weekend...
Oh well, I guess the tracking polls are good only for long term trends.

5. Did you see Bil Schneider's smarmy explanation? |
|
Slithering Schneider says that Annenberg asked poll respondents if they had heard of the Swiftboat Liars' attack on JK. Among the ones who said YES (less than 50% of respondents), JK dropped 9 points from where he was in the last poll (but Schneider doesn't mention that the last poll included All responses from ALL respondents and didn't ask about JK's military service.
The Annenberg graph (someone posted it earlier today) shows that JK has not been hurt by these lies.
This is how you slither...

6. I heard he has dropped 9 points |
|
in these weeks since the convention with veterans. I can't understand how a vet could support Bush. I really can't believe it. I think he needs to do something quickly to get the discussion back on the issues. Maybe a big policy speech or a huge town hall with questions that would get some free media coverage.
