1. Did you notice Faux's poll is also way off?
All the other polls have Kerry winning.

2. No, this and one I heard on CNN are the only
that I know of that are post Torturegate. CNNs had Kerry one point ahead, I think.

5. These are not post-torturegate polls
These are mid-torturegate.

Most of the real damaging information on the torture came out after the polls were taken, and before Rumsfeld's Friday appearance.

The real torturegate polls will be out next week.

9. Among registered voters, the same group as in the TIPP poll,
Kerry is ahead by 6.

3. This is the pattern of legtimizing theft and writing the backstory
I have noticed this is becoming a pattern. After a spate of honest polls come out, a Bushevik parasitized or controll organizations, such as Gallup or AP, will release a Phony Poll to mke certain it seems to people that it's "too close to call". It also has the effect, as it did in GA 2002, of taking aback protest at vote thefts because "look these polls predicted this would happen".

I now recognize a Soviet Pattern and it is quite disturbing. If I am right about this (and of course I could be wrong), it means the Busheviks already have everything in place for a Soviet-level Theft and they want to soften up the inevitable reaction and keep as many people confused and unsure as possible.

The worst part is, it'll probably work.

7. Considering your track record
I'm inclined to believe you.

I'm still of the feeling, maybe foolishly, that the Democrats, moderate Republicans and Independents will flood the polls and make it impossible for Bush to steal the election.

But then I believe the Reds will win the World Series this year.

8. So this poll has Bush ahead by 5 among RVs
Edited on Mon May-10-04 04:40 PM by diplomats
and CNN has Kerry ahead by 6. It looks like they cancel each other out, or perhaps the CNN poll caught a trend over the past few days when Torturegate began to really hurt Bush. It often takes time for scandals to make an impact on polls.

10. Two week lag
It seems to take about two weeks for the polls to catch up to the news. I am looking (hoping, actually) for 42 approval ratings next week.

With Bush out of ideas, the conservatives growing more and more dissatisfied, and America finally waking up to this unjust war, it's gonna take every stolen vote for Monkey boy to pull this off.

I hope that Kerry makes his VP selection soon, and that it is a strong one. That should put him ahead for good.

11. I believe you're right about the lag
And the scandal is far from over.
