And adding to the confusion.. TIPP says Kerry 46/ Bush 45

Interestig to look at IBD/CSM/TIPP's trends:

Investor's Business Daily/Christian Science Monitor/TIPP poll conducted by TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence. Sept. 22-27, 2004. N=907 registered voters nationwide (MoE ± 3.3); 649 likely voters (MoE ± 4).
 
"If the 2004 election for United States president were held today and the following were candidates, for whom would you vote? Would you say Democrat John Kerry or Republican George W. Bush?"  
Among likely voters:

                                             Bush      Kerry     Unsure

Actually Vorlorn, if you take a "Poll of All Polls" Good, Bad, and Ugly.....you get quite a different picture.......about a +1.35% to Bush.





Its interesting that its the Time, NYT/CBS, Newsweek, and Gallup polls that have kept Bush's numbers inflated by WIDE margins IMO. Yet, Rasussen, TIPP, Dem Corps, Zogby, YouGov/Economist and others all show the race (still with a small Bush lead) but much, much closer nationally.

BTW, TIPP has pretty consistantly shown this race to be much closer, as I posted earlier in this thread......

At any rate.....a "dozen" polls are showing a pretty unmistakable trend......the race is closing.
