Mason-Dixon red-swing state polls... mixed signals

Shows * ahead in all swing states he carried in 2000. * +1 in Ohio, +3 in NH.
But if you look at internals, things look good in OH (* at 46%, approval below 50%) and slightly less in NH.

1. Mason-Dixon

Their last set of polls was skewed towards Bush, if I remember right. Not as bad as Strategic Vision, but still pretty different from what everyone else had.

2. Yes, that's the impression I had...

... slightly skewed towards * but no so much as to look like a joke like Str.Vision or Gallup.
So this is encouraging news in NH and especially OH. Also shows WV, MO, CO somewhat in play (although Kerry doesn't need any of those states if he carries OH and keeps MN and WI).

5. In several other election years I followed Mason Dixon polls in several

states fairly closely. Without exception they overstated republican support as compared to the actual election results by 3 to 5 points. I don't know anything about their methodology or their client list but their bias toward republican candidates was consistent.

6. BUSH VIRTUAL REALITY ALERT!

Please ignore this poll/story/article, as it is a product of the Bush empire's Faith-Based Reality Manufacturing Program. Details here.

8. Bush is going down like a flushed turd. Can't even pull 50% in states

he won the last time.
