ARG Poll, 10/9/04, Kerry leading OH, PA, and FL; Tied: NH

Hope this isn't a repost. :) Sounds like good news to me, though a little too close for comfort.


Ohio: Kerry +1

Pennsylvania: Kerry +2

Florida: Kerry +2

New Hampshire: Kerry +0

Those polls date from Oct. 6.

but I think they're still relevant as the aftermath of the first debate. Hopefully Kerry's even more ahead now. :)

after they were spot-on during the NH primary.

Things are moving the right way.

and all I could think was "undecided, my flabby white ass." They looked like they'd been cleaned out of a Ripon Society meeting or Limbaugh's audience. They were true believers, all of them. Of course, they're enjoying their 15 minutes of undeserved fame, so all but one said they're still undecided, and that one fessed up to being a Bushbot.

The real undecided voter is one who is completely disconnected from the process, who hasn't watched the debates and doesn't care to, who only votes because somebody has finally guilted him or her into it. Because they are undecided, they just pull levers or flip coins and choose accordingly.

The good news is that their numbers are very small, since most of them will not vote but say they did.

The real story will be the newly registered voters, coming in at record numbers in most states. That is generally very bad news for an incumbent. Let's just hope they all vote, now that they've made the effort to register.

I've met some real life ones, I think it's unfair to say that they're uniformed, I know several who are reasonably informed and watched the debates. They just don't have a clear cut ideology and they also appear to be torn on issues of "character"--they're undecided now, but I think they will ultimately base their decision on whether they want more of the same or change.

and stick it down between Alabama and Mississippi?
