Analysis of swing states gives challenger small lead

Forecasts of John Kerry's political demise may have been exaggerated in recent days, and he could still be clinging to a narrow lead in the US presidential race, according to a poll published yesterday.

The poll, by Zogby International, reflected the state of play in 20 swing states, and found that the surge in George Bush's support there after last week's Republican convention, was less pronounced than the double-digits suggested in two weekend polls.

Those surveys, in Time and Newsweek, triggered alarm and finger-pointing in the Democratic camp, and a reshuffle in the Kerry team. But other surveys have since suggested the Bush convention "bounce" was much smaller and the contest remains a close one.

The Zogby poll says the president has made up ground in many of the 20 battleground states, but Mr Kerry retains a slim lead in most of them - enough to give him a majority in the electoral college, if the vote was held now. ..

"There's no doubt that Bush got a bounce ... but no way is he up 11 points," John Zogby, the head of Zogby International, said yesterday. ..

:D

Zogby says Kerry on the ropes. I tried to click on it but it said story unavailable or something similiar. I went back a little later and it was gone. I wonder what that was all about.

I know I shouldn't feed the beast Drudge but today he has had more anti Bush stories than pro.

It appears that Kerry is the comeback kid. Now if we can fight the smear team that Bushco will have no problem in utilizing.

hope Kerry is in the race!

The sky is no longer falling.

Please return to your regularly scheduled programming.

That is all.

hmmm

and I'm willing to bet I ain't the only one ... that if they'd farted around and picked their noses and not polled until five f*cking days after the Republican Convention like they did with the Democratic Convention, this whole 'bounce' thing would have looked as real as the Jabberwock, my son!

Now get your asses out there and volunteer.

We all have to do our part.

we need to get this bozo out of Washington! Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing it's idiot!
:eyes:

stupid headline that * is ahead by 11 points? I didn't think so. Theay had a lot of nerve printing that bullshit. Stupid lying cheneys.

should be the headline.
Less than a week after a sitting presidents convention and he is without an obvious lead in the polls.
This is historic and should be the headline.

The next nine weeks are going to be the ugliest in campaign history because the Bush Camp has no choice.
