Comprehensive NPR Poll

Also, Bush is having trouble among independents. 17% of respondents declared themselves as hard independents not leaning any way, and 62% of them thinks the country is on the wrong track, 52% disapproves of the president's job and 45% support Kerry. It should be kept in mind that this poll had equal numbers of registered Dems and Reps, which probably helps Bush to a certain extent. If it was weighted for this Kerry would probably lead.

Dems lead GOP by c.5% in voter registration

Or don't bother voting *at all*...

Walter Mondale was never elected by a huge margin to the Senate:

1966
---------
Walter Mondale  D  53.9%
Robert Forsythe  R  45.2%

1972
----------
Walter Mondale  D  56.7%
Phil Hansen         R  42.6%

You may have confused him with Hubert Humphrey, who cracked 60% in 1948 and 1976
