Ohio CNN/Gallup

Registered voters, Kerry 50, Bush 41. And people are definitely going to vote this year.

Yep..take Ohio from Bush and that will cripple him. And he has been kissing up to them so much. He only won the state by 3%. Now the economy is horrible there and they have lost hundreds of thousands of jobs. Betcha they regret the day they ever gave their state electoral votes to Bush. He can kiss up to those rural voters all he wants but I doubt he will be able to woo those undecideds. Obviously they are undecided because they don't like something about Bush. If they thought he did a wonderful job then they would not be undecided. They would want him to continue. Thank goodness independents usually break towards the challenger...

Oh and Bush has been to PA like 35 times since becoming president. He wants it BAD! Last poll I read had Kerry up TEN points in PA. Doesn't look like he will get that one.

Kerry is up in Florida like 6 or something too. Ah..it would be wonderful if brother Jeb was unable to deliver his state to big brother. Since he has only like 43% approval rating in the state that is very possible. Now if we can just keep them from "fixing" those machines that Jeb does not want to have printouts then we would have a chance of having the votes accurately counted.

I do think Kerry has a shot in Ark and TN if he puts Clinton out there for him. There are some parts of the country that HATE Bill Clinton but other parts love him. He carried Ark and TN when he was president and I think he could help Kerry carry them too.

As you can see. I don't want Bush to just lose. I want him to lose BIG. That should send a message to the Republican party (that their tactics don't work).

Actually, a lot of us here in Ohio don't blame Bush for our state's problems, we blame our governor and our state legislature. We've lost jobs for reasons that have nothing to do with Bush, but rather are the result of problems that have been brewing here since Clinton was pres. Our state laws, not Bush's policies, make Ohio unattractive to business.

Hmm...well there must be other reasons that people in Ohio are turning away from Bush. Last Gallup poll showed Kerry ahead there by about 10% pts (it was 52% for Senator Kerry and like 40-something for Bush)when previous polls had showed them essentially tied.

If you'd like to take polls as gospel, that's you're affair, but the polls in Ohio have been going up and down every day, and different polls have different results. Soem polls have shown Bush ahead, some show Kerry ahead, some show a dead heat, and it changes every time there's a new poll. One poll doesn't predict an election any more than one day's stock market results will predict how the stock market does in an entire year. The only poll that's going to matter is the one in November.

Whatever...I did not say that one poll predicts the election. I stated what the most recent Gallup poll found. That was the first time that I ever heard of Kerry having a lead that was outside of the margin of error.
