More bullshit polls - MSNBC Bush +6 in Iowa Kerry +1 in MI, Bush +5 in NM
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6301044/

WASHINGTON - New poll data released Thursday suggest that President Bush is in a strong position to win one state that Al Gore carried in 2000, Iowa, and is putting pressure on Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry in five other states Gore won, with Pennsylvania's 21 electoral votes the biggest prize of those five.

In Iowa, the new MSNBC/Knight Ridder poll shows Bush with a 49-43 percent lead over Kerry, with six percent of voters undecided.

Gore carried Iowa by 4,144 votes four years ago.

In New Mexico, which Gore carried by a mere 366 votes, Bush leads Kerry 49-44 percent with six percent undecided.

Meanwhile in Michigan, a state Gore won by more than 200,000 votes, Kerry and Bush are in a statistical tie, with Kerry at 47 percent, Bush at 46 percent and six percent undecided.

2. These are the same whacko numbers reported...
.. .on NBC's Nightly News with Russert and Brokaw. Blew me away when I heard them reporting these numbers with no reference to other polls. These were the most extreme pro-Bush numbers I had seen to date, which is why I wondered why the hell they chose them.

Now I am getting sick
This is like the third poll tonight that has Bush starting to blow Kerry away in some of these states and in others taking away what were some decent leads. One, two I can live with. But this is now getting to be a litany. I feel like in a 24 hour period everything is just crashing down. And we still have Sinclair to ride out. What the hell is happening?????????????

5. This is the Mason Dixon poll that was posted earlier
Some disturbing numbers, but so far, this is the only battleground poll that I've seen that looks this bad.

7. BUSH EMPIRE VIRTUAL REALITY ALERT!
Please ignore these polls, as they are a product of the Bush empire's Faith-Based Reality Manufacturing Program. Details here.

8. Most of these polls make no sense
Kerry is not trailing in New Mexico by 5, or just running even in Oregon, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
