Would someone explain to me just how
the monkey in chief can have an approval rating of less than 50 percent and supposedly be leading in the polls by 8-12 percent? Something ain't adding up here.

2. Something to do with only reporting the count of "likely voters"
perhaps?

There are a LOT of people who aren't "likely voters" per se, who will be voting the Monkey in Chief OUT OF OFFICE this November.

4. Those polls giving him big lead are made up of more Repubs than Dems
Those polls showing Kerry way behind have been documented to include a higher percentage of Repubs, because the pollers' assumption is that likely voters and already registered voters will include a higher number of Repubs than Dems. They are not taking into account the fervor of anti-Bush voters and unusual strength of Dems who are registering new voters in record numbers.

6. Media & Polls will do WHATEVER IT TAKES
to keep George W Mushroomcloud and Dicktatorshit in the Blight House. Matt Lauer is Bush's golf buddy. Neil Cavuto masturbates to pictures of Pickles.
