Bush 51/43 in Florida - 56% Approval Rating - Mason-Dixon

[Lunar]

Interesting that it has been dropping, has it bottomed out though?

Does Bush do better or worse with an anonymous candidate?

Also interesting that the tone of the Colorado article was showing the strong opinion that Kerry could have a chance, perhaps even making it 04's Florida.  It noted two other polls that indicated a "statistical tie" as well.

There was a Colorado poll? I'd like to see that.

First post.

There is a very SERIOUS correlation between population density and the 2000 election results. Here's what I could find:

That is pretty interesting.

Top 10 Highest Densities:
8 - Gore
2 - Bush (9 & 10)

Top 10 Lowest Densities:
8 - Bush
2 - Gore (6 & 10)

As to the whole seperatist crap: relax.  There aren't any regional issues, just slight population shifts.  For example, 55% of the people in California may support Kerry, but that number may only be 35% in Texas and 42% in Arkansas.   Ooooh, 10-15% of the population has slightly different views, oooOooooh.

"SLIGHTLY different views"

Hahahah.  Yeah, I'd say half of us have "slightly different views" from say the John Kerrys and Howard Deans.

You're misinterpreting what I'm saying.  I'm merely saying that there might be a 15% ideology switch from one state to another, and likely far less.  I'm not saying that the opposite ends agree, just that there are a large number of people in Connecticut that agree with Bush, and a large number of people in Arkansas or Texas that agree with Kerry.

I think there was the faith that Bush would look bad in 2000 against Gore.  Didntt Happen

Yes, and he'll be better in his debates from all of the speeches as President.  With practice, it becomes increasingly easy to strawman your opponent to death until you pause and the audience claps.
