A Dukakian Fall III: A Dukakian Fall With a Vengeance

Bipartisan "Battleground" Poll Puts John Kerry Below 40%

STUDY #9936 THE TARRANCE GROUP, INC. and LAKE SNELL PERRY N = 250 per day of registered “likely” voters Field Dates: September 12 –16, 2004

1. If the election for President were held today, and you had to make a choice, for which candidate would you probably vote?
(DO NOT READ NAMES, JUST RECORD)

George W. Bush 46%
John Kerry 39%
Ralph Nader 1%
NAMED OTHER 1%
UNSURE 14%

Here. You have to download an MSWord file (hopefully not forged) to read the data.

Of course, all hope is not lost. As The Unabrewer tips me, John Kerry is still ahead in New York... by five whole points.

And in Maryland -- one of the staunchest Democratic bastions there is -- he's comfortably in a 48-48 tie with Bush.


I don't want to say that John Kerry is unelectable, but he couldn't get elected warden in monkey-prison with a wheelbarrow full of bananas and a lenient policy on excrement-flingin'.

Update! And now Bush four points ahead in... Oregon?

The only problem with a real blow-out is that it doesn't hurt to be blown out. When you get trounced, you know that no particular error you made, or flaw in your strategy, could have possibly helped you. You just throw your hands up and say, "Eh. Nothing I could have done."

On the other hand, there's Al Gore.

Thanks to Terry Notus for the Oregon tip.

Dukakian. There's a word I don't use often enough.

Dukakian.

Monkey-prison. That's also a grossly under-utilized term.

Posted by: George on September 20, 2004 07:00 PM

Don't count Kerry out until he's made a concession speech...and then you better wait about a month, just in case. It better not be close...at all...anywhere. If it is, it's going to be 2000 all over again in spades. Here's some cold comfort...

Ace, Brit Hume just quoted Mary Mapes' father that she is a radical feminist and went into journalism to push a leftist agenda.

Ace--

But wait! Kerry is coming back, baby!

"AP: Kerry Says He Wouldn't Have Ousted Saddam."

Ya gotta read the story, if only for the howler opening para.

I just hope Bush is far enough ahead to compensate for Democrat vote fraud.

Posted by: Golden Boy on September 20, 2004 07:46 PM

I am excited about Maryland being a 48% tie. I was commenting to family over the weekend that I've been seeing more visual support for Bush/Cheney than Kerry/Edwards. Matter of fact, I am starting to see more Bush bumper stickers on the Washington Beltway every day. And at the Anne Arundel county fair last week, there was a line at the Republican tent for yard signs and I didn't see anyone accept a Kerry yard sign.

ACE: Check out Lucianne!!! Joe Lockhart has been outed as a liason between Mapes and Burkett!

This appears to be, at the very least, a shadowy connection between the Kerry Campaign and CBS!

Ace:
I love this. I vote in Maryland, so maybe I can be the tiebreaker. However, the Pew (+1) and the Harris (-1) national polls are still bugging me. In the NE, Bush is beating the spread like Pete Rose is placing his bets, but the national polls aren't reflecting it. Something is whacky.

Mark:
That's very interesting, in an utterly unsurprising way. We would all love to see a link when one is available.

Ace:
Now Bush is +4 in Oregon too.

A blowout would be sour and sweet. On one hand, I wouldn't miss the court battle and never-ending "selected, not elected" chants. OTOH I'd hate to not see Kerry's inevitable Gore-like descent into madness. At least there might be a nice Terrezza melt-down, assuming it's possible for her to become even nuttier.

Posted by: Trevor on September 20, 2004 10:11 PM

Ace,
The problem with this poll is that it is a fill in the blank problem as opposed to a multiple choice. The real story here is that Democrats are far less likely to even know who is running on their ticket than Republicans.

Posted by: Ace on September 20, 2004 10:40 PM

I distrust the cited poll for Oregon. If Kerry loses here, Bush will be the next president (i.e., it will be a landslide). It seems to me that the poll has too many people listed as rural. I live in barking moonbat territory. I have never seen a Bush sign near me. No conservative wants to set off the crazies by putting up a sign. That is not meant as a joke or hyperbole. It is just the sort of tension that exists here.

We have vote by mail here. It is too easy to cheat here. When Phil Keisling was in charge of such things, I wrote him. My vote depends on some moonbat crazy government type looking at my signature of record (the one when I registered 30 years ago!!!!). This is totally asinine! Keisling, to his credit, did reply, but basically said that I was a lunatic to question the government.

I did not get a ballot once. I had to go down to the local election office. It was a damn zoo with ballots lying everywhere. It took a great effort wading through morons, before I finally found someone competent to figure out what was going on. My address had changed for absolutely no reason. I got a ballot which I added to the tumult there, but did it count? Was it negated by the ballot sent to the incorrect address? Phil Keisling said that I do not have the right to even know. Ballots once cast into the mess which is the system in Oregon, are secret, even to the person casting them. I have zero confidence in our system of voting. On the plus side, we have few electoral votes.

Mike
