texasgurl-

If that electoral scenario comes about, this is a more likely percentage breakdown:
Map Percentage Code:     4          5               6                7            8
Percentage Range:        <50, 50.1-53.3, 53.3-56.6, 56.6-59.9, 60-100.

Here's my prediction though:

Map Percentage Code:     4          5               6                7            8
Percentage Range:        <50, 50.1-53.3, 53.3-56.6, 56.6-59.9, 60-100.

Didn't I already point out that Kerry can't win a CD in Nebraska?

I think that he can.

Bush won NE-02 with 54% in 2000.  Considering that he's lost 10 points in neighboring states (SD, ID, 10 in OK) and that his administration just today announced new regulation on diesel feul for farm vehicles that will raise the price of diesel much more than the current raises in the price of gasoline from which I would say that he stands to loose more I contend that Bush has a good chance of loosing in the farming areas surrounding Omaha.  Plus with an 2% per year average liberalization of the suburbs I think that there's a very good chance that Bush will loose NE-02.

StatesRights, though asking 500 000 people is techically feasible, think about the costs...this is all statistical, an MoE of 3% in 95% of the cases is sufficient in most peoples minds.

The state-owned polling firm in Sweden, SCB, make 2 big polls a year, with a sample of about 9 000.

If telemarketers can use automated machines and call thousands of people at a clip then what would stop a rich person from funding such a poll?

It's not worth it. The increase in accuracy becomes less and less cost-effective, simply. So you'd pay a lot of money and get very little for it. You would always have the MoEs anyway.

Yes, but I feel if you had a larger sample you could get a clearer picture. I'm sorry but 650 or whatever number they use out of 100 million voters doesn't really tell me to much that I could bet the farm on.

How are Michigan and Minnesota tossups but not Iowa or New Hampshire?  Bush has to be +5 for those to be considered "tossups" and at this point, he will be winning in West Virginia, Ohio, and Oregon as well.

I follow trends, rather then polls, in this file.

And I see a trend in MI going towards Bush.

Good but I'd flip WVA over to Bush. Several polls have him leading.

I wonder what Bush's post 9-11 approval rating was in Utah.  Probably 96-97%.
