Gallup poll on 9/26/2004 versus 9/26/2008

2004:

Bush 52
Kerry 44


2008:

Obama 49
McCain 44



Conventional wisdom says that Kerry led in the polls in 2004. But that's false.

We're 13 points better than we were exactly 4 years ago today.


Feeling good.
;-)

3. Had the first debate been held by that point in 2004...?
I remember Kerry made up a lot of ground right after that.

5. No
In 2004, the first debate was on September 30 and that helped Kerry virtually tie with Bush. The good thing this year is that the debates could help us extend the lead.

6. what conventional wisdom? I recall '04 on DU very well with the "Why isn't Kerry doing better?"
because the polls favored (narrowly) Bush.
