1. Ya know, you have a BAD habit of doing this!

Post a headline and a link. Why, just once, can't you give a SNIP of what you want us to know?

[TexasSissy]

2. Yeah. Drives me crazy, too. I figure sometimes they're in a hurry.

[chiburb]

7. You're too kind.

Like we all aren't in some kind of a hurry? That's what makes it so infuriating...

Oh well, a kind poster below gave us a flavor.

CBS)ÊBy Jarrett Murphy, CBSNews.com producer
John Kerry sat within one point of President Bush in the latest CBS News poll released Monday, as support for the president appeared slip slightly.

The new poll, conducted Thursday through Sunday, gave the president a 47-46 percent lead among likely voters. The poll surveyed 1,345 people and among likely voters carried a three-point margin of error.

That represented a slight narrowing of the gap from Mr. Bush's 49-46 percent lead in a CBS News/New York Times poll reported Sunday based on interviews Thursday through Saturday. That poll talked to 920 people and there was a four-point margin of error for likely voters. Independent candidate Ralph Nader gets 1 percent in both polls.

10. Yes, Bush at 47 percent is really bad news for him

BTW, this is one of several polls showing movement for Kerry in the last day, including Fox and TIPP.

BTW, if Kerry shaved off 2 points from Bush's lead in one day, he must've had a really good Sunday.

4. 2% more undecideds that came directly from the Bush camp.

Guess which way that percentage is moving? :party: :bounce:

5. The good parts...it's show time...it's Kerry!

THE BEST NEWS IS AS FOLLOWS....

But beyond the horse race, responses in the more recent poll showed a hair's-breadth improvement for the Massachusetts senator on his perceived leadership qualities and ability to fight terrorism. The later polling took place after the emergence of Osama bin Laden's latest videotaped message.

Asked if a candidate had "strong qualities of leadership," 52 percent of registered voters polled Thursday through Sunday said "yes" for Kerry. That number rose to 54 percent among registered voters in a second group reached Saturday to Sunday. Over the same period, Mr. Bush's number slipped from 62 percent to 58 percent.

Respondents were also asked if a candidate could protect the country from a terrorist attack. Over the Thursday to Saturday polling period, 62 percent said Kerry could protect the country "a lot" or "some." Seventy percent said Mr. Bush could protect them "a lot" or "some."

On Saturday and Sunday, Kerry's number held steady. Mr. Bush' dropped to 64 percent....

8. Re: Osama rearing his ugly head

it's all Bush's fucking lazy ass incompetent fault. He had his chance.
Make room for competence.

6. 920 contacted?

This hardly represents the USA. That's the problem with the polls, they do not poll enough people. It appears the polls stop when they feel tired and have the info they need.

9. Maybe it finally sank in

bush bragging on and on about how well he's done fighting terror and the #1 guy is still out there looking in great health.
