Gravitymaster 0 #376 February 19, 2004 Anybody who thinks polls this far out have any significance is kidding themselves. With that said: http://www.zogby.com/news/021804.html From the article: Q. Who would do a better job of dealing with Al Qaeda, Saddam Hussein, Moammar Gaddafi, North Korea and Iran? George W. Bush or John Kerry? Fifty-percent of voters said Bush would do a better job compared to the 33% of voters who felt John Kerry would do a better job. Fifty-eight percent of current military members and 53% of veterans feel that Bush would do a better job while 32% of current military members and 27% of veterans gave the nod to Kerry. Gun owners and investors by overwhelming margins of 63% to 23% and 58% to 28% respectively, feel Bush would do a better job in dealing with rogue states and leaders. Non-investors also thought Bush would do a better job in dealing with rogue states and leaders by a margin of 48% to 35%. Church-goers and non-church-goers alike thought Bush would do a better job. Daily church-goers and weekly church-goers favored Bush by margins of 57% to 22% and 62% to 21% respectively. Non-church goers also favored Bush to deal with rogue nations and leaders by a 42% to 36% margin. Forty-nine percent of NASCAR, high school sports and little league sports fans think Bush would do a better job of dealing with rogue states and leaders and 33% felt that Kerry was the better choice. Forty-eight percent of non-NASCAR fans also thought Bush would be better to deal with rogue states and leaders while 32% favored Kerry. And http://www.rasmussenreports.com/Presidential_Tracking_Poll.htm February 18, 2004--President George W. Bush now leads Massachusetts Senator John F. Kerry by five points in the latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll. As of this morning, Bush attracts support from 48% of the nation's likely voters while Kerry is the choice for 43%.

kallend 2,146 #381 February 19, 2004 Quote Does Heinz have any oversees holdings? Probably, but then again WTF does that have to do with John Keryy anyway? The decisions of the corporation are made by a board of directors and a CEO, of which Kerry is neither I'm fairly sure. Again, you can google just as easily as I can. Perhaps the purpose is to compare Heinz's incredible success as a corporation, with the record of the companies that GWB ran into the ground despite having family money pumped in to them. Would YOU invest in a company that had GWB as CEO?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #383 February 19, 2004 Just a general question: It used to be about a 40% to 40% partisan split with a need to appeal to the remaining 20% swing. Where do we think we really are today? I'm thinking it's even worse now - like 48/48/4. In other words, the swing vote is now about as big as the wackos on either end so any gain one candidate can make by appealing to the middle will be balanced by the loss of the extremists from their own party. I wonder if the actual positions of the candidates will have any impact. Rather, whoever can minimize voter apathy the most will likely pull it off. ...

Would YOU invest in a company that had GWB as CEO? Uh, I think the answer to this question is quite obvious. I think it's very funny that the campaign in 2000 concentrated on the fact that Bush was a businessman and would run the country like a business. Turns out he's run it just like all the other businesses he ran, with revenues falling far short of expenditures. Did they really teach him that this was good business practice at Harvard or was he maybe asleep? Never go to a DZ strip show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When stockholders lose faith in the management of a corporation, they sell their stock and it's value drops. Didn't investors in Bush's company get about 10 cents on the dollar? When the international financial community loses faith in the management of a country, they sell its currency and the value of the currency drops. How's the dollar doing?...
