The latest poll from ABC News and the Washington Post has the President with a substantial lead:
According to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, registered voters by a 27-point margin now say Bush has taken a clearer stand than Kerry on the issues, by 27 points call Bush the stronger leader and by 19 points say he would make the country safer. Bush also has a 22-point advantage in trust to handle terrorism, a 16-point lead on Iraq and perhaps a slight edge even on the lukewarm economy.
These and other ratings have either reversed or eroded Kerry’s position. After the Democratic convention Kerry had a six-point lead as more honest; now it’s Bush +13. Kerry had a 13-point lead on a “vision for the future”; now it’s Bush +9. Kerry had a 14-point lead on understanding people’s problems; now they’re essentially even (Bush +1).
Moving these underlying views has enabled Bush to break out of the virtual dead heat that’s defined the contest: Among likely voters in this ABC News/Washington Post survey, Bush has 52 percent support, Kerry 43 percent, Ralph Nader 2 percent. It’s Bush’s first lead beyond the margin of sampling error in any ABC/Post poll since Kerry seized his party’s nomination in March. The race is 50-44-2 percent among all registered voters.
Poor Democrats.
LOL!
They oversampled Republicans.
This has been debunked before.
Keep dreaming.
Random samping has been de-bunked? Interesting theory, but I think I’ll pass.
what is very annoying is that ABC gives a link to the organization who did the poll, but they give zero details about the poll.
at least the Newsweek poll gave hard numbers, which did tilt to the right, quite a bit, based on where and who they asked.
