The polls are headed in the wrong direction, guys..

[Rex_Goodheart]

We've now lost the Washington Post poll?

I'm very, very concerned when ALL the polls are headed in the wrong direction.

Somebody please comfort me. I need a support group.

1. Do We Really Need This?

[Ducks In A Row]

2. It's all a scam to keep bush happy

so he doesn't call a new terror alert

[Misunderestimator]

3. Oh goodie... is this a coming out post?

:eyes:

[AlCzervik]

4. get a helmut and buck up

[Sannum]

5. ..

The only polls that matter are on Tuesday

[sonicx]

6. um, STOP SWEATING POLLS

Kerry's down one ONE.

Gore was down 3 right before 2000 election.

[rlev1223]

16. Bush has't broken 50%...

....anywhere on average, and is below 50% in most individual state and national polls. Incumbents don't win with less than 50% in final polls.

[CatWoman]

7. no, the pole is still facing up

[Tesibria]

12. good one!!

[0007]

What we have CatWomen is a bunch of fucking polecats

34. She's right! All the poles are up!

[Jackpine Radical]

68. The Poles are up?

When they shipped out the Viagra I'm glad they didn't forget Poland.

[Steelangel]

36. Excellent picture

I think I will use that picture in every new poll topic.

[Lex]

8. Stop looking at the stupid polls. They were WRONG in 2000

and they will be WRONG even more so in 2004.

The results from the early voting states are showing a CRUSHING Democratic turnout.

Bush is toast.

[LSK]

9. HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!

GET A GRIP DAMMIT

[Lex]

32. No kidding.

[spotbird]

10. We've lost nothing.

You may think it is doom and gloom, but I just left Democratic headquarters where about a quarter of the volunteers are recovering Republicans. There is no way we're going to lose this honestly.

[high density]

11. You're hilarious

:puffpiece:

[NDFan]

13. Suck it up

It's only a one point difference.

[movonne]

14. Well we will see how the polls feel when Kerry wins !!

[Langis]

15. Sorry polls are in our favor

We are going to win!!!!!



Kerry in a landslide!!!!!!

[Bonhomme Richard]

17. Complete bullshit. See ya Nov. 3rd. n/t

[Technowitch]

18. Look away from the polls, friend.

They lie almost as much as the Shrub administration.

[mumon]

19. READ THE ECONOMIST POLL

see my post elsewhere.

[Union Thug]

20. Geez, maybe things have changed in the 8 hours its been

since I last looked at poll info here, but I thought Kerry was doing pretty good, esp, in the BG states.

But, what does it really matter? With all the discrepencies that have been posted about the various methodologies employed, I have only one poll on my mind, and that is Nov 2.

[West Coast Democrat]

21. Gees...the final WaPo poll showed Bush* up by 3 against Gore!

Kerry was up by 2 this week! Gore never led in that poll in 2000.

[swag]

22. Wear the frilly pink panties when you say that,

and I'll give you a dandy spankin'.

[Rex_Goodheart]

23. On the bright side...

ABC seems to be slamming Bush pretty hard this evening.

[GingerSnaps]

24. I bet you do

:hi:

[DuaneBidoux]

25. What polls? The one with a ONE point margin?

Somebody "help" this guy out and dig up all the real politics and Gallup polls from 2 days before the election in 2000. That should help him feel better.

[Milo_Bloom]

26. Here, this should help.

Read it and remember, bush is doing MUCH MUCH worse today!

[greekspeak]

49. They fuckered that one up real good

Christ...Shrub carrying California? :eyes:

[frank frankly]

27. either, A) get a grip or B) stop by Nov 3 and enjoy the Kerry victory

Shrub is an unelected, stupid, treasonous POS AWOL coward PHARASEE.

don't you agree?!?!

[Shadow30]

28. Don't let one poll upset you...

...there going to be going all over the in the next 5 days depending on which poll you look at.Kerry is doing fine,whats important is that we all step up to the plate on Tuesday.

[Jersey Devil]

you are so convincing we are going to stop trying to elect Kerry

Go back where you belong please

[bobbyboucher]

31. Pshaw.

Bush is getting rolled. Rolled I say.

[lancdem]

33. You get upset pretty easily

Among RVs in that tracking poll, Kerry is up 1; Bush is up 1 among LVs. A tie is bad? No poll has Bush with a lead outside the margin of error. Kerry has gone from 7 down in the TIPP tracking poll to 3 down in a couple of days. BTW, that poll had Bush up 9 two days before the 2000 election.

Plus, you do know that a campaign's internal polls are usually different from the public polls? The Kerry people know what they're doing.

[doni_georgia]

35. Have you checked the latest from electoral-vote.com?

Our numbers are going up. National polls do not matter. Only state by state polls matter, since popular vote doesn't elect the pres. Check this out
http://www.electoral-vote.com/

[terrya]

37. I've been seeing so many posts about the lack of Bush/Cheney signs...

in Republican areas. Reading about Republicans who are no longer supporting Bush. Really, besides Zell Miller...is there any Democrats (and I use the words "Democrats" and "Zell Miller" VERY LOOSELY) who are voting for Bush instead of Kerry?

There's a palpable shift to Bush. I get myself crazy going to electoral-vote.com...because what's on there just doesn't jibe with all of the real life evidence that people don't think the country is headed in the right direction. Hell, Bush has less than 50$ approval rating...and yet the polls say Bush is ahead??? This defies logic. This defies common sense.

Kerry is going to win. It won't be a landslide, like some people have said. But John Forbes Kerry is going to be the next President of the United States. Period.

[lancdem]

73. I assume you mean a palpable shift to Kerry

:)

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

39. fluctuation withing the MOE is ok...theres going to be bouncing around.

...its really too close to call...

[newsguyatl]

40. c'mon, at least try to be dubious about who you are

[endnote]

41. I'm concerned all Repugs have mad cow disease.

[DaveinMD]

44. again

these three day tracking polls are worthless. All the fluctuations are within the margin of error. The race is tied and will come down to turnout.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

45. Rex

is bush polling consistently above 50%? No? Then fear not. He is toast.

[Onlooker]

46. REMEMBER THIS!

Bush has overwhelming support in the Red States. In many of those states he leads by more than 20%. So, the only reason Bush is tied is because he's getting a disproportionate amount of support from the Red States. If the polls are correct, then Kerry will win the EC, but lose the popular vote.

Look here to see how lopsided Bush's support is:

[Bush was AWOL]

47. "The polls are headed in the wrong direction, guys.."

If you're a Republican. Check out Trade sports, this is by far the best shape Kerry has ever been in on that site.

[skip fox]

48. Hey, welcome to DU. You're not the only one who's worried.

Don't let the intemperate get you down.

52. Hmmmmm, trying to demoralize huh???

It won't work!

[Kipepeo]

65. Aw come on, Give him the benefit of the doubt please

he's in NC...so if he's in a particularly red area of NC he's probably surrounded by Bushbots who are breaking his spirit. Not everyone is a freeper in disguise.

To the original poster: I've been to some of the swing states and my gut and my eyes tell me Kerry is going to win this with a much larger margin than the conservative mainstream media would have us believe. Have you seen any of the numbers for new voter registration among Dems? It's unfuckingbelievable. I'm even feeling good about North Carolina my friend. So don't despair...go hang up some Kerry signs in Edwards Country!

[Cronus Protagonist]

53. hahahaaaa

You're such a card, dude. Did you post that anywhere else so we can go see them laughing at you as well?

[Placebo]

54. What F'n Polls Are You Watching?

Polls are going in our favour.

[gardenista]

55. Awwwww, Rexy.... just take some oxyconton and go to beddy bye until

Wednesday. Then, you can get up and vote without all this worrying.

57. all these polls

are within the margin of error. Democracy Corp and Economist show a small lead.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

60. The Economist Is An Online Poll..

That was discouraging...

Can't they afford to do a real poll?

[demokatgurrl]

58. Fuck the polls. They are inaccurate, imprecise,

inconsistent, and make NO SENSE. Really. Ignore them. Get out and canvass, make phone calls, go to some MoveOn rallies.

[Jimmy D]

59. There is coming out and comeing out flameing

This is close to flameing.

Best regards

[kaitykaity]

61. Maybe THIS is one of those posts they were talking

about over at FR, about how we were fretting and depressed
and down over here.

I guess.... leaving that unsaid, but ya'll know.

[noonriser]

81. My thoughts exactly! It's too obvious... (n/t)

[Smarmie Doofus]

62. ABC National News just said...

that the race was dead even ( B.49, K.48 today, K.49,B.48 yesterday) and that K was down by five a week ago.

This is the "wrong direction"? I'm not getting you. The polls are mixed... most seem to be about even.

I think most of the polls are straightforward but that K's real vote will be several pts ahead of the poll average... as Gore's was last time.

64. Fellow DUers

I want everyone to notice that Rex only responded once in this entire thread.

Why is anyone bothering to add to this? I nominate this thread to die.

[Steelangel]

67. Indeed (and nominate to lock & delete this topic)

You are not only one who noticed that. And I nominate this thread to delete or lock too.

[dennis4868]

71. I second that nomination!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

72. It's Amazing That Someone With An I Q Of 85 Thought He Could Pull This

Off...


Rex, I hope you're reading this....

77. I alerted the mods

as usual they aren't doing jack shit about obvious trolls...

[PretzelWarrior]

79. me too. alerted a minute ago

[PretzelWarrior]

66. riiiiiigggggghhhhhttttt

move along, troll

[redstateblues]

69. This poster has done this before. freeper alert!

[Awsi Dooger]

70. I think we'll know the outcome on Sunday night

Zero move and I think Kerry narrowly sneaks in. A move toward Kerry and we obviously cruise. But if the national polls over the next three days consensus indicate a move toward Bush, I think he's the likely winner.

I undersand my emphasis differs from others on DU. I pay much more attention to national polls than state, and have more faith in their accuracy. With so few undecideds at this point, the comparisons to 2000 are not completely valid. Kerry has very little escape room if Bush inches toward 50%. And Bush is almost finished if he flatlines at 48% or less.

I just wish the damn oil prices hadn't dropped and the stock market jumped 250+ points the past three days. Mostly I encourage Kerry to go positive and soon. The apolotical people I quiz on the street or in Las Vegas casinos every day don't give a damn about missing weapons, but retain general reservations about Kerry.

[West Coast Democrat]

74. Perhaps the market jumped because Kerry is going to win

ever thought of that?

[Iris]

75. price of oil dropped?

I paid $2.13 per gal yesterday and I live in a state where gas is relatively cheap.

76. Lawrence O'Donnell...My Hero said

If the incumbent has not broken 49% by the weekend before election he will be defeated
So it is alright to say President Kerry

[mindfulNJ]

78. Let me ask you this...

Do you know ANYONE who voted for Gore last election that is voting for shrub this time? Didn't think so. Now add all the newly registered Dems and disenfranchised Repubs to that. There is no f-ing way shrub can pull this out...without cheating, that is...

[Longgrain]

80. I'm a relatively newbie too...

and I hope I'm honored to be the first to say...go back freepeer!
I've come to DU for comfort and support.
I don't need this BS right now.

82. REMEMBER THE DEBATES? REMEMBER karl rove? distortion

of numbers worked last time, their desperate enough to try anything,this time.
