Latest Economist "Yougov" poll is up
http://www.economist.com/media/pdf/YouGovK.pdf

Slice and dice it, slicers and dicers.

Top line: Bush 47, Kerry 46, Nader 2

Sept 13 - 15.

Anybody else notice the similarity to Rasmussen's figures?

1. Excellent

Why don't all of these polls which indicate a close election get the same exposure than Gallup?

Also we gotta make sure we turnout the young folk. According to this poll, Kerry is clobbering Bush among 18-24 year olds by 60-31 percent. Let's not let them be apathetic this year. Too much is at stake.

2. This is the fourth poll in 48 hours (Economist, Rasmussen,
Christian Science Monitor and Investor's Business Daily) that show the race this close. The race is much closer than the sanctimonious, hypocritical, dimwits in the main stream media are willing to acknowledge. Even Faux News, for God's sake has it a one point race!

4. The fourth poll, ICR, has Bush up by 8
but the others all have it basically even.

3. No change since a week ago
I'll take it. I looked at the breakdowns and was glad to see Kerry losing only 8 percent of Dems to Bush. Gore lost 12 percent in 2000. and I like that he has a 10-point lead among women since more women vote than men.

I do have one question, though. Voters 55 and over favor Bush by 14 points. Wasn't Kerry winning among that group earlier in most polls? You'd think they'd be more pro-Kerry because of Medicare, etc.
