Faux news poll: Kerry behind but good internals

[pabloseb]

* 50 - Kerry 45 among LV, BUT * 48 - Kerry 46 among RV in a 3-way race, and * 47 - Kerry 47 in a 2-way race. Remember Nader is not on the ballot in OH and other important states.

* leads by just 1 among independents, with almost 10% undecided or voting third party.

4% of democrats are undecided or voting 3rd party, but just 1% of republicans. This means Kerry has more potential to grow.

*'s vote is softer: 11% of *'s voter possibly will change their vote, but just 7% of Kerry voters.

* approval at 49 approve, 46 disaprove. These are weak numbers.

Among independents, 41% feel economy getting stronger, 53% do not.

Last, but not least, this is faux, so shift all those numbers 5% towards the democrats.

1. What was their sample, 60% Republicans?

Without knowing the details, it's impossible to figure out what (if anything) this means.

How many were sampled? When? How did they weight it?

(Note: This is not directed at the poster, but at the poll.)

3. In 2000, Gore lost independents by more and

and Bush's repuke support was lower than in this poll.

other polls this year say Kerry leads in independents.
