When Bush won in 2000, the Electoral vote was 271-267. Since then, the Bush states added +7 electoral votes and the states Gore carried in 2000 lost 7 electoral votes. So, if their were no changes from the 2000 election, we'd be at Bush 278 electoral votes and Kerry at 260.

Now, according to the Real Clear Politics Battleground States Polling Data, here are the states that have changed hands according to the latest polls (Arkansas which was a tie, was not counted)....
Kerry Adds
-------------
Ohio: +20
New Hampshire: +4
Bush Adds
------------
Michigan: +17
Oregon: +7
New Mexico: +5

Now, if the election were held today, not only would Bush win again, he'd win by a larger margin. Bush also has much more money, a later convention, the situation in Iraq has already improved significantly from last month, and polling data shows voters are dramatically underestimating how good the economy is.

It certainly wouldn't be wise for Republicans to get overconfident, but Bush, not Kerry, is in the stronger position right now...

You're dead on Boon, but it doesn't matter what we say.

Liberals will still put their hands in their ears and shout "Noooooooooooooo!"

I know, but hope springs eternal and perhaps they'll see the light.
Tried like heck to get Thaiqula to check out the slide show I posted on why we are in Iraq. Don't think I was successful...

What a dreafull shame.

Wrong again, Bushies.

Latest poll released today shows Kerry has gained major ground in battleground states:

I suppose you are going to say the Gallup poll is just some left wing tripe. Uh huh. Sure thing.

Well this isn't fun anymore since you're just putting your hands in your and shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Quite amusing really, that lead is also only going to GROW.

So many polls have been putting Bush in the lead in most battleground states, and you go around citing these sources that virtually no one has heard of before.

Pathetic.

Now you have really lost it.
The Gallup poll?
The most famous polling organization in the world?
The Gallup poll?
Noone has ever heard of them?

I meant the website you got that from, not the poll. Nice try.

The website is irrelevant. It is the content of the information that is important.
I suggest you stop attacking the SOURCE so much, and THINK issues through, and reply THOUGHFULLY on the actual content. OK?

Your complaint is better placed to someone who committs said offense.

Talking to you is INFURIATING.
Isn't that the issue we were dealing with, and now you say, oh no, it wasn't me.
Not sure it is worth talking to someone like anymore on this board. You aren't at all serious about engaging in direct discussion. JUST GAMES!

You must really enjoy making wild false accusations, just like Al Pyscho Gore.

The poll news just keeps getting better and better for Kerry. Remind me to increase the order for French champagne. This is really beyond my wildest expectations (which are a SOLID Kerry win) and this is before Kerry picks his VP and the convention which is always good for a boost.


Amazing numbers! Right wingers: read em and weep!

Latest CBS news poll:
Kerry FOURTY NINE PERCENT
Bush FOURTY ONE PERCENT

That is a LANDSLIDE.

With Kerry McCain, it is even more remarkable:
Kerry McCain FIFTY THREE PERCENT
Bush Cheney THIRTY NINE PERCENT

That kind of margin would be a historic LANDSLIDE.

Gop 4 Life: Do not bother replying bv saying CBS is actually the Communist Broadcasting Service, THAT IS SO PREDICTABLE FROM YOU AND STUPID, so do NOT BOTHER!

You must have noticed the Archie Bunkers didn't call General Anthony Zinni a commiehippytraitorsocialistpeacenikleftyliberalsocialist. Zinni is the one who said so many awful things about the Bush gang.

Actually, calling us patriotic flag-waving, apple-pie eating Americans...Archie Bunkers, isn't really that much of an insult! The Meathead on that show was the stupid one!

Sorry, but there's freedom of speech in this country, I feel REALLY sorry for you if you think CBS doesn't slant those polls, but then again, you'll take whatever you can get.
