BZZZZZZT!!!! Wrong, dumbass.

Some polls have Bush ahead, some have Kerry ahead, all are within the
margin of error.

CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll. May 7-9
N=575 likely voters nationwide. MoE ± 5.
Bush 48%
Kerry 47%


There ya go. You've admitted that President George W. Bush is ahead.


Sometimes I think you strain yourself pretending to be stupider than you
are. It must not be an easy task, but somehow you manage.

Anyway, you said he was ahead in every poll. He's not. Not only that,
he's not ahead in *any* poll beyond the margin of error. But you
wouldn't understand what it means for results to be statistically
significant, would you?


Your analysis is flawed in that you assume the popular vote may
dictate the outcome of the election.

IMHO Horvath is actually a bolshevik who wants to drag President Bush
down by pretending to be a supporter.
