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? -- //-Walt // // There's a village in Texas that's missing its idiot. |
