Zogby, on the other hand has moved toward Kerry today in his 3 day national tracking for the same period. He has Bush at 48% to Kerry at 47%. This is a 2 point Kerry gain from yesterday. At this point in 2000, Zogby had Bush with a 5 point lead over Al Gore.

1. There is NO WAY Minnesota is going Bush*

That just shows how screwy the polls are. The anger towards chimpy in this state is HUGE. And there are Kerry signs even in typically Repuke neighborhoods.

Plus, 800 Dems turned out for the primary in my city this last winter, vs. 40 (or was it 20?) Repukes.

2. Good Florida numbers with leaners included

I don't get MN and OH... do they release any internals?

3. Are the FL numbers right?

1% of * voters lean toward Kerry?

4. That's what it says

I checked it twice. I don't know what to think of it either.

I just report the numbers.
