Gallup decides to weight the Republican numbers to 15%
since seeing Bush's performance in the debate will make them much more likely to vote because they are concerned he could actually lose to Kerry.

That's what I was thinking last night. Tell me they won't. But doesn't this theory make as much sense as what they are currently "weighing" the numbers now?

1. might as well

Do a poll with 80% Democrats, 5% undecided, 15% Republicans, then claim it's the coming of the messiah and has predicted the great Kerry victory, unbiased of course.

3. They're crazy...everyone who wanted to vote for Bush in 2000, voted for
him. They were as keen on getting him in as we are in getting him out. They want what they want and they wouldn't miss voting again. There is only a very, very tiny per cent of people who might have not gotten around to voting and who will promise themselves.

ALL the people invested in a Republican agenda, especially tax cust will vote no matter what.

ALL those who love guns will vote no matter what.

ALL those abortion haters will vote no matter what.

ALL those born-agains will vote no matter what.

ALL those killing generals and hungry CEO's and constitutional revisionists for world power will vote no matter what.

ALL those who listen to right wing radio and TV will vote no matter what.

ALL those who are going to need a Presidential pardon will vote no matter what.

The way I see it, only a few former back slappers might have messed up on voting day and might now be more resolved. Maybe some tough talking truck drivers can be added to the group.

Not 15%! GALLUP is not to be believed. They are working very hard for their bosses, but that's ridiculous.
