NBC's Russert "Exit polls show Dems are united" Interesting

[underpants]

Lauer and he were going back and forth on the NBC/AP exit polls done of Dems in SC, MO, Oklahoma, and Arizona specifically. The link below doesn't have this graphically represented but 75-80% across the country disapproved of W, of the War in Iraq (I'm guessing in how it is being run/lead up to it), and W's economy. Also ~70% of Dems in all those states thought that Kerry was okay for them as the nominee.

Lauer asked Rusert if it was hatred or enrgy/hope. Russert said,"Both, I have not seen the Democratic party this united since the Vietnam/Watergate eras" I think that was the time he pointed out.

Voters in Arizona, Delaware, Missouri, Oklahoma and South Carolina all cited the economy and jobs as their top concerns, according to a voter survey conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by the National Election Pool.

Edwards' personability factors bore huge dividends: Edwards had a huge advantage over John Kerry, 57 to 18 percent.

South Carolina's African American voters, garnering a slight edge over black Kerry voters, 37 per cent to 34 per cent

Big majorities in all of these states — at least 75 percent everywhere — expressed dissatisfaction with or anger at the Bush administration

Voters in the five primary states agreed the quality they most wanted in a candidate was the ability to beat Bush in November and they also wanted a candidate who would stand up for what he believes.

1. exit polling

IF EXIT POLLING did not work in the 2000 election---why all of a sudden are reporters using them as if it were the Bible?--just color me curious :crazy:

6. No, the exit polling worked perfectly; they all called Gore as the

winner and they were absolutely correct. It was a revision by the repugs to go back later and call them incorrect

2. I wonder who was madder

Republicans at Clinton in 1996 or us at Bush this year?

I say probably us.

[LuminousX]

3. Definitely us

4. We are.

We didn't steal an election in '96. Every Democrat I personally know is 'Abb', regardless of which candidate they prefer.

13. Yes, we didn't steal an election. Also, look at the record of the

opinion of the Right after the 96 election.

Many of the Repukes were saying that Clinton's election wasn't valid only because he got less than 50 percent of the vote. They tried to overrule that election as invalid. Of course, that was when the electoral college was the enemy of the Repukes.

9. Russert mentioned that too

He said that the Dems are more united against Bush than the Repubs/right were in '96. Remember Perot ran again and won what 7-10%, something like that.

11. I would say we are.

I know R's who are pissed at Bush right now too.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

5. Of course we're united!

We want our country back! Time for torches and pitchforks, people! We need to out a witch from our White House!!!

8. So does this mean...

That the administration can catch OBL this fall and the democratic voters really won't care? I know that we on DU would see through the "October surprise" but since jobs and the economy are the #1 issues OBL wouldn't make much of a dent. How is OBL going to help the unemployed get a job or health insurance?

It would help the chimps base but they wouldn't vote democrat anyway.

10. Hard to say

I think that if OBL's head is paraded around on a stick in October W might indeed have sealed the deal.

W has some problems with his base right now anyway with the budget/deficit, the immigration bill*, and the medicare bill. Not that they have anywhere to go or will go anywhere but he does have to sooth their concerns which he will do through their channels so to make it appear that there is no problem there.

* the immigration bill isn't going anywhere. That was a grandstand move to try to court hispanic voters and they will let it die but keep saying,"Hey we tried". Also it gives Fox and the RW media a chance to criticise him at least once.IMHO.

12. Yes, we are. Record turnouts. ABB! nt
