Scripps Survey Research Center: Kerry Leads by 5%

John Kerry leads George Bush 50-45 percent of nation-wide RV's according to a poll conducted 10/3-13 by the Scripps Survey Research Center at Ohio University.

Here's the link to the poll report itself: http://www.newspolls.org/story.php?story_id=33

Short story: Kerry leads by 5 in the sample of all registered voters. Only if they restrict their sample to those who say they are absolutely positively going to vote does Bush gain a (small) lead.

Everybody, we all know that this is not going to be a low turnout election.

1. One possibility: Kerry 54%/Bush 44%/Others 2% and Bush declares....

Martial Law.

6. They'd better get the draft going before Nov. 2

There's an election to steal, you know.

7. They will try anything

to "retain power," including vote stealing or some "terrorist threat" on November 1 or 2. Maybe this is why the corporate media rushed the Freeper-skewed Zogby poll to their the top of their "news stories" (and I do mean stories).

I've been outa the loop.

25. ok gotcha

20. Remember one of Bush's aides said he's an alien, which means he'll

declare Martian Law.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[CAcyclist]

23. But if he's impaired, he might

declare Partial Law and set California free!

8. Polls suck. Ignore them. They are wasted time. (nt)

16. Overall, I tend to agree, at least at this stage of the race

But this forum was crying out for something to "balance" all the undue attention the recent Zogby poll is getting.

And it is also a great demonstration of how get-out-the-vote efforts can win this thing for us in a near-landslide.

9. "Nation-Wide RV's.... "

It sounds like they were asking Winnebagoes their opinion.

10. If you ever needed an inducement to phone bank and precinct walk...

...here it is! Phone banking and precinct walking

11. This is exactly what I've been thinking

That these polls do not include those who have not voted in the past. But people will vote this time. Kerry is going to win. And I don't think it's going to be as close as everyone is predicting. Good story from my alma mater :)

17. go bobcats for kerry

Nice to see a well conducted poll from a great school. My alma mater as well.

12. Thank you!

There's a lot more enlightening info in this Scripp study than so much of the political marketing garbage we hear these days! :think:

[nolabels]

13. This indicates to me they will try to keep it the tone low and boring

and try to make others forget their is election going on. Bigger stories will give way to fluff and everything is being put off till after Nov. 2. Two and half weeks is a long time in todays fast paced world.

[Catfight]

15. Make it 20% and I'll rest. As long as their is hate radio and hate

pundits spreading lies minute after minute, we have work to do.

[JackDragna]

18. He's up by 5% among RV's?

Oh my god..recreational vehicles can VOTE! They're ALIVE!


RUN!

RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!


ARRHGHGHGHGH!

21. Poll after poll after poll.....
