OCTOBER 6, 2004
The presidential debate has lifted John Kerry back to where he was in our battleground analysis before the Republican convention energized the Bush campaign.

The latest Zogby Interactive poll puts Mr. Kerry ahead of President Bush in 13 of the 16 closely contested states -- two more states than the Massachusetts senator led before the debate and the most since August. The latest survey was conducted between last Thursday, after the debate ended, and Tuesday afternoon, before vice-presidential contenders Dick Cheney and John Edwards debated.

Mr. Kerry moved ahead in two states (Ohio and Nevada) and increased his lead in seven others -- though Mr. Kerry's margin over Mr. Bush in Ohio, Arkansas and Florida was negligible -- less than one percentage point. Mr. Bush's lead narrowed in the three states (Missouri, Tennessee and West Virginia) that he remains ahead of Mr. Kerry. Overall, seven of Mr. Kerry’s leads are within the margins of error, while all of Mr. Bush’s leads are.

If the results on Election Day matched Zobgy's numbers, Mr. Kerry would win. Here's how:

1. Starting to hear people say Saddam may have been thinking about WMD

What is that about? I guess they hate to think they were taking in by Bush?

2. Someone should tell Bill Schneider of CNN who told Dobbs last night

Kerry was not making any in-roads in any battleground states

3. Please send an email to Lou Dobbs

Dobbs is a reasonable journalist. You saw the report. Even three sentences would get the message across.

4. Bill Schneider would like to call the election off - RIGHT NOW
