Bush Up by 1 In Fla, OH; Actually Opens a Better Lead in Gore-State Wisconsin

I don't really think this deserves a Kim Richards siren.

Rasmussen Reports has it 47.8 to 47.8 nationally, a tie to the first decimal. That definitely is not Kim Richards worthy.

Ace,

Leave that Rasmussen crap alone. Check out The Horserace Blog and come into enlightenment.

Man, you are more emotional than a teenage girl going through puberty.

Well, when I'm watching the Giants, they're either "great" or they're "total fucking assholes," and that goes back and forth a couple of times per quarter.

So, I guess I have to cop to that one.

There is definitely oddness afoot with Rasmussen. I'm not calling shenanigans, but I do believe that this weekends' data represented a statistical anomaly. Up til now, Rasmussen's tracking poll had been quite stable, and not prone to the wild and unrealistic swings we'd seen elsewhere.

Looking at the past few days, however, I can only conclude that Sunday's raw data represented an abrupt spike in Kerry's popularity. Given the lack of obvious news to drive such a move, I suspect it's just noise. This is reinforced by the fact that today we have a tie. That must mean that yesterday's raw data represented and even *bigger* spike for Bush, to create a tie for the three-day rolling average (Rasmussen claimed Kerry also led in Saturday's sample.)

Meanwhile, Zogby's tracking poll rolls steadily on, even opening a wider lead for Bush.

I've noticed that Bush tends to fair poorly on Mondays in the Rasmussen tracking poll. I suspect it's because Republicans work for a living, and are more protective of their precious weekend time, and have no patience to speak with pollsters. Perhaps this effect is augmented during a World Series weekend?

Ace, you should seriously consider some medicinal marijuana.

I've said this before, but Rassmussen's been in the tank for Kerry ever since Kerry saved him from drowning in Vietnam.

Posted by: See-Dubya on October 26, 2004 05:11 PM

Don't know where I read it, but I believe I saw yesterday that Rasmussen asked a question this weekend about the "draft" and Bush (that of course is not going to frickin' happen) and that might have run Bush's numbers down in that poll.

Posted by: Sharkman on October 26, 2004 05:15 PM

Rasmussen = robot polling = most people hanging up = a shitty sample.

Please don't waste your time with that poll. As Jay Cost at the Horserace blog says the real results are usually 24% Bush 24% Kerry and 52% hanging up.

I assume that the uncertainty is no more than .5 %, otherwise the decimal point is meaningless in this poll's figures. I could not do it now without much study, but I had to propagate uncertainties in my research in graduate school in physics with large matrices of data. It irritates me that there is precision implied which is not justified in these polls. I did not see the confidence level or the level of uncertainty for these figures but at least 3% is typical at what I assume is the 95% confidence level for most of the polls that I have seen. I think that I can more reliably believe that the arrival times of the photons that I studied were randomly distributed than any political polling results. There is much more reason to think that real errors exist either through bias or poor technique with polling (rather than purely statistical uncertainties which can only be ameliorated with more data).

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
