Newsweek National Poll Puts Kerry Over Bush

Sun January 25, 2004 02:59 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A new national poll by Newsweek magazine showed on
Sunday the surging Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts topping
President Bush in an election matchup.

The poll, conducted Jan. 22-23, showed Kerry commanding 30 percent of
support from registered Democrats, up from 11 percent two weeks ago.

*And for first time in the poll's history a Democrat enjoyed a marginal
advantage over Bush, with Kerry garnering a 3-point lead over the
president, Newsweek said.*

Forty-nine percent of registered voters chose Kerry, compared to 46
percent favoring Bush.

Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, the Democratic front-runner until his
dismal third-place showing in last week's Iowa caucuses, saw his support
among registered and likely Democratic voters cut in half, to 12 percent.

That put Dean in a three-way tie for second place in Tuesday's New
Hampshire primary with retired Gen. Wesley Clark, 12 percent, and U.S.
Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, with 13 percent.

Bush saw his approval rating drop among registered voters to 50 percent
versus 44 percent who disapprove, despite his having delivered a State
of the Union address last Tuesday.

And more people said they were dissatisfied, 52 percent, than satisfied,
43 percent, with the way things were going in the United States, the
poll said.

The Princeton Survey Research Associates poll interviewed 1,006 adults
by telephone. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Early polls don't mean much, of course, but this one is at least fun.
And it is a predictor of Bush Behavior over the next 10 months.

The question is, of course, when will Karl Rove fly Osama from the Bush
Ranch in Texas, where he's been vacationing, to Afghanistan, where he
can be discovered, along with a huge caches of WMD now being assembled
in Colorado?

Right after the leadership of the AFL-CIO, and the national leadership of
all the large industrial unions, issue a press release publicizing their
salaries and expense accounts, and acknowledging that they've been screwing
the membership and sucking the lifeblood out of their organizations for the
past 40 years. Don't hold your breath!

The salaries and expenses of the officers of all national unions have
been published for many years, as well as the salaries and expenses of
the officers of the AFL-CIO, which is not a union.

By every standard of measurement, union members earn higher pay and
better benefits than corresponding workers who are not unionized. That
higher pay and better benefit package is the result of collective
bargaining by unions on behalf of their members. There are all manner of
legitimate statistics to back up my statement.

Perhaps if you had a decent job skill, John, you, too, might be accepted
into a union where you could earn a decent living.

Don't let him troll you in John. He would love to change the subject
to your profession, but then he would only misrepresent it and try to
get you to argue further. We can have the group back from this
asshole, you have no need to defend yourself to someone dishonest, and
of course, no one here beleives anything Harry says anyway so why
bother responding to him?

Well, I guess everyone now knows that I build great boats as you are
well known as being a liar... Nothing to defend here, you are a liar,
period...
