A huge sampling by the Zogby and Williams Polls on behalf of the Knight-Ridder Newspapers chain has found that despite the Swift Vets and all the other diversionary rubbish being thrown around by the lying right, John Kerry leads George "Champaign" Bush 50.8% to 46.7. The margin of error on so huge a sampling? +1/-1. From the article: "In perhaps a Dad sign for Bush, more of the undecideds voted for him in 2000 than for democrat Al Gore, indicating that Bush hasn't persuaded them to stay with him after nearly 4 years in office." In other words, Champaign George is in as much political trouble now as he's ever been. Read the whole thing, unless you're a Dittomonkey or something. If so, then get your mom to read it to you. Try not to suck your thumb while she does. http://www.freep.com/news/latestnews/pm21317_20040828.htm

And conservative Fox poll shows kerry leading in the battleground states by 48 to 37. Kerry leading by one overall. and the bi-partisan NPR poll out today has Kerry leading in the battleground states by nine. Kerry leading by four or five overall. And the HUGE zogby poll out today, 20900 interviewed, has Kerry up by four. And the Zogby "interactive" poll using a panel contacted by email shows Kerry leading in all but two battleground states. THis technique was used by Harris in 2000, and they had the results WIRED. Best of all pollsters. And the LA Times poll showing Bush leading in Ohio? Another poll out today by an Ohio paper, sending out letters with questionnaires, an odd technique but one proven in the past to work in Ohio for them, they've gotten accurate results, and it has it even. They move around these polls. But regularly a lot more show Kerry whipping ass in the battleground states than show Bush doing that. He rarely isn't shown outperforming in the battleground states.

Tuesday, Aug. 31, 2004 4 p.m. EDT Pollster: Bush Ahead on Credibility, Kerry 'Betrayed' Veterans Today on MSNBC's "Scarborough Country," host Joe Scarborough was speaking with pollster Frank Luntz. The former Florida congressman asked Luntz why George W. Bush was ahead in the polls right now, even though John Kerry should have gotten a bump from the Democratic convention. Luntz answered: "The last ten days, it's over a single word, a single principle: credibility. That's what these Swift Boat ads have done. They've undermined Kerry's credibility, his veracity - and they've done it with John Kerry's own words. "I don't think the viewers at home realize just how important it is [that] they've got Kerry on videotape, they've got Kerry on radio ... you actually hear the accent, communicating what he felt. "We're in the middle of a war right now, and the American people in general and veterans in particular don't want to hear someone, 35 years ago, basically trashing the troops." Scarborough said, "The polls show this has less to do with what John Kerry actually did winning his medals in Vietnam than what he did when he came home. ..." Luntz added, "Exactly. And there's one word here that stands out - we did some focus groups in the last few days - and the word is betrayal. "That's how people feel. The language that he used, the fact that he said what he said back at that time, the veterans feel like they were betrayed." The pollster concluded, "If the Bush campaign were to pick up" on the theme of betrayal, it would hurt Kerry even more.

The only poll that matters is the Diebold Poll on November 2, and that one is already a foregone conclusion.
