Poll: Dean worse against Bush

the average American will not buy the false goods that Dean is selling.

It's a fairytale. Americans won't believe it if they are shown otherwise.

Repeat the mantra.

If you had as much faith in polls a month ago, you would be calling Dean #1 and Kerry finished.

Dean does energize voters. Unfortunately, they end up voting for Bush*

Noone can win anything with unfavorables that high.

go at him at every angle, exspecially the "Dean is weak on defense" one. Dean will destroyed by this. Clark and Kerry are the credible voices on national security issues. Also, Dean's record as Governor does not add up against what he is telling us now.

I'm not trolling, I'm honestly curious.

His tendency toward emotional outbursts is what scares Americans. Many people, including me, totally agree with his positions, but we are afraid that the * cabal will make mince meat out of him in 3 seconds.

who is driven only by polls and focus groups... yet as soon as we get him, we crusify him for being too human. OMG he cheered at a rally, he must be crazy.


I have no doubt Dean would wipe the floor with Bush... but I doubt that he'll ever be able to get to that point because folks will let the media convince them that anybody with passion or excitment can't possibly win.

So folks who want Dean and who like his positions will vote for Kerry because they think he can win since he is boring and scripted and would never show any emotion, let alone passion or excitment. Folks will think that only a corrupt insider can win a system run by corrupt insiders.

Then Kerry will get crushed by Bush because he supported most of Bush's agenda and when folks are given a choice between Bush and a guy who supported Bush... they'll pick Bush.

Fiery speeches do not count. His public and private record shows him to be the most even-tempered executive imaginable.

I hate the circular firing squad. With friends like these, no wonder the public has illusions about Dean. And I will NOT do it with Kerry.

That's just crazy talk!

Considering the fact that of all of those people, he is the least known nationally.

I hope I am wrong, but I think he is a terrible campaigner and don't understand (nor has it been explained to me) exactly what his "new" appeal is.

To me, he is still the same waffling, IWR-compromised bore he was a month ago,


I hope i am wrong.

That is a telling stat.

1/10-12/04 Bush 54% Kerry 35%
NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll conducted by the polling organizations of Peter Hart (D) and Robert Teeter (R). Jan. 10-12, 2004. N=1,002 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.1.

Also larger N and smaller MOE.

One poll! My God, that's all the evidence I need! Especially from Quinnipac University! It's all over!

Guess electability is an issue after all.

The media has told us so!
