Reply #13: This is a good indicator [View All]

Given that the first national poll taken after the debate also showed a similar spread
with Bush dropping 4 points and Kerry rising 4 point in the latest Newsweek poll.
With some polls showing Bush either catching up to Kerry or even passing him in a few states
that Kerry had a significant lead in and that Gore won in 2000, this is aj indication that some
of those polls giving traditionally democratic states to Bush were either totally flawed
or that if they were not, Kerry will likely come back to previous levels in those states.
I was hoping to quicky see a co-relation between a state and national polls after the debate
as this would be the best indication that the debates actually will have an effect on the way
undecided voters cast their ballot in November.
