A poll I just couldn't help but post

[MODU]

Reuters/Zogby poll:  Bush 46, Kerry 45. 

My comment isn't really about the poll, but the names of the people bringing you the poll.  For those of us involved with the stock market, Reuters has a tendancy to be pessimistic when it comes to reporting on individual company news (with good reason following all the corporate scandals).  Combine that with Zogby who has been pessimistic in regards to Bush's re-election chances (going back to when he said the election was Kerry's to lose).  You have two pessimistic groups saying Bush is ahead by 1 point.  That just strikes me as being funny.

Combine that with Zogby who has been pessimistic in regards to Bush's re-election chances (going back to when he said the election was Kerry's to lose).

And I'm sure he'd still stand by that, in spite of these numbers.  Just yesterday he pointed out that undecideds are leaning heavily away from Bush.  And he claimed this a long time ago as well.  So, I suspect Mr. Zogby, Mr. Anti-Bush, rightly or wrongly, would stand undaunted in the face of these numbers.  After all, a 2-to-1 undecided break to Kerry (I'm not saying that will happen, but he did say so a long while back) would result in Kerry 51%, Bush 49%.

Re Zogby (D)...

In what I am sure is a complete co-incidence, a strong Bush sample rolls off tonight just in time to give Kerry a 3% bump in the first "Post Debate" sample from Mr. Zogby.

On the other hand, a pro-Kerry sample rolls off in Rasmussen (R) giving Bush a mini-bump tomorrow's first post debate sampling.

Well, at least they're both being consistent to their causes.
