Polls are always accurate. President Dewey was a case in point. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Actually, I see

http://www.electoral-vote.com/

Kerry 271
Bush 247

Still bad news. [img]graemlins/cry_smile.gif[/img]

Today's tally - THEY'RE TIED!

I just checked and found

Bush 271
Kerry 257

However the link that Reason provided shows

Kerry 290
Bush 231

Looks like another wild election... [img]graemlins/party.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/martini.gif[/img]

Here's another one from the NY Times. I suspect this one is more accurate because it recognizes more states are up for grabs.

Kerry 225
Bush 213
Open 100

This morning's numbers:

Electoral Vote Predictor 2004:
Kerry 257 Bush 271

The constant changes in this poll begs the question -- Anyone here EVER been polled?

Yes, I think my wife and I were called on separate occasions during the 2000 election. Heh, prolly 'splains the spike in support for Mick Jaggar. [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]
