New AP poll just this morning -- Kerry 49%, Bush 46%

[Flubadubya]

This was announced on CNN this morning by Carol Lin. Of course, she was quick to point out that it is within the margin of error.

What she failed to mention, of course, is that any incumbent pulling only 46% at this stage of the game is crisp toast!

1. Yes, I kept hearing earlier on this year that if Bush fell below 50%

in a favorbility rating, no president has ever won in that percentage. I haven't heard that in a while. Of course the polls are over the place.

2. Yes, it says a tie on Yahoo too

Amazing that when Kerry is up by 3, they're careful to call it a tie because it's within the MOE. If Bush is up by 1, they love to say that Bush leads Kerry.

4. The graduated media scale...

1%= "Bush leads Kerry."
2%= "Bush has strong lead."
3%= "Bush has a commanding lead."
4%= "Why did Kerry even bother being born?"

7. You left out....

0% Bush barely ahead
1% (Kerry Lead) - Bush in Trouble
2% Bush needs to (x)
3% Bush with margin
4% Kerry lead due to poll anomoly

8. You noticed that, too. The cowardly bastards careful to spin for Bush!

3. Carol Lin is such a smarmy little bee-yatch

don't you love her face in the AM?

5. Carol

It's a toss up over who is the worst, this Carol or Carol Costello, for whom I have developed zero tolerance.

6. please say this is true

*cross fingers* I am cautiously optomistic. I refuse to get too excited until Nov 3

9. I'd guess that this, when averaged with others, means..

that Bush's average vote right now is somewhere around 47%. That's pretty dangerous for him.. it's his ceiling.
