CBS Poll: One Year Later, KERRY Would Beat BUSH

[liberalpragmatist]

Oh what I would have given for Bush to have been at 36% last year.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/11/04/opinion/polls/main1011154.shtml

(CBS) If last year’s presidential election were being held today, the results might well be different than the results of a year ago. 41% of registered voters say that if the 2004 election were being held today, they would cast their ballot for Democratic candidate John Kerry, while 36% say they would vote for President George W. Bush. 13% say they would vote for someone else, and 6% wouldn’t vote at all.

In this poll, 12% of registered voters said they didn’t vote in 2004. Among those who did vote, 45% said they voted for Kerry last year, and 46% said they voted for President Bush. 2% reported voting for Nader, and 7% won’t say for whom they voted.

If the election were held this year, both candidates would retain more than eight in ten of the voters who supported them last year, according to this poll. But President Bush would lose about 3% of those who said they voted for him last year to his Democratic opponent. And although none of those who supported Kerry last year would now vote for Bush, 13% say they would support another candidate. But among voters who either didn’t vote in 2004 or voted for another candidate, or refused to say for whom they voted, Kerry leads Bush by 34% to 11%.

1. One year ago

[FlashHarry]

3. It should never have been close enough to steal.

Ugh.

I love these people who are just now figuring it out. Where the hell were they a year ago???

[IdaBriggs]

9. Cause 18% ahead in New Hampshire is just TOO close, right? nt

[dchill]

6. Sigh...

you beat me to it. It's just spin, my friend. The news media "elected" the Buschmeister, now they're turning on him. It's got nothing to do with us. (The American people.)

[Peggy Day]

12. sorry

[Peggy Day]

13. can't use this darn thing tonight

[we can do it]

22. No joke

and I hope someday the truth comes out.

[HockeyMom]

2. We can only hope for

GUILT BY ASSOCIATION. Let the backlash begin.

[Loge23]

4. again??

Didn't Kerry beat him last year?
Are we back to paper ballots yet?

[dchill]

11. Hey, I voted today in PA...

on a paper ballot. I even got a receipt. My polling place is in Mercer County, PA, where we de-certified the Unilect Patriot machines - not once but twice. It felt to me like I was voting for the first time - even though I've been voting for over 20 years. It probably won't last.

5. What Dem wouldn't? eom

[HysteryDiagnosis]

7. You mean one year later Die Mold would have to adjust quite a

few more votes... higher percentages and such.

[SharonRB]

8. Duh

Need I say more?

[malaise]

10. Yep

because it looks like they're using the same methods again

[npincus]

14. again

[Seansky]

15. sorry, but this is dumb, the * stole the elections so this is ridiculous,

kerry and Gore won...there is no need to go on saying today that K beat *, He already did that...

[TallahasseeGrannie]

16. I believe it.

But part of Rove's skill is that now that he's been re-elected, it's fine if all hell breaks lose.

Oh, that makes me sound like an idiot. After all, what did Rove have to do with Katrina, or even the case against him?

But you know what I mean.

[mzmolly]

17. Bush is losing voters.

That's a good sign.

[zulchzulu]

18. So Kerry would win again...

Big surprise.

[malaise]

19. Kaine doing well

Bushco's trip didn't help. Hahahahah!

[LynneSin]

20. All I can say is FUCK YOU EVERYONE - you bought it now deal with it

:grr:

Fucking easy to say this crap a year after the fact. Did you even consider before you voted for that asshole that things were heading into the crapper and then some.

ASSHOLES ALL OF YOU WHO VOTED FOR BUSH AND NOW REGRET IT!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. Exactly!

[TayTay]

24. I'm sure all those kids who will have their ed funds cut

regret it deeply. Why does everyone assume that only the actual Bush voters suffer from this? A lot of people who couldn't vote will suffer the most. I don't want them to 'suck it.' I want them to get some concrete help from a government that gives a damn.

[IronLionZion]

26. YEAH! What She said!!!

:grr:

[Rainscents]

21. OK, whatever!

[OneTwentyoNine]

25. Bullshit,Diebold would just ratchet up the machines a notch or two...

Until its 100% known that Diebold machines aren't rigged then all the polls are worthless. CNN had Kerry ahead of Bush in Ohio from their exit polling until 2:00am then suddenly changed THEIR OWN numbers.

Did Dems even as much as QUESTION that fact?
