Or is it Pimp My Pol? I'm never quite sure. The latest polling numbers from the Post/ABC down-lo media whores is showing Preznit Wet Spot with a six-point lead over John Kerry. Of course, one has to wonder if they are actually sampling or are they oversampling a la Gallup?
Bush currently receives 51 percent among likely voters while Kerry gets 45 percent and independent Ralph Nader receives 1 percent. Among all registered voters, Bush holds a seven-point advantage.
...
Kerry continues to be viewed unfavorably by a plurality of voters. Fewer than four in 10 voters -- 37 percent -- say they have a positive impression of him, while 42 percent have an unfavorable impression of him. That finding suggests more people intend to vote for him than personally like him and highlights the fact that Kerry continues to be buoyed by a strong anti-Bush vote despite broad reservations about him.
Yeeup, and it's not like the MWs who did this poll have spent any great amount of time doing any more than finding sound-bites to support the RNC talking points that are on their morning blast-fax from Unka Karl.
The Post says that Kerry has to do well in the first debate to get Preznit Snowflake on the ropes. The expectations set for him are so low that the punditry will be handing him a "victory" within minutes fo the end of the debate broadcast if he merely shakes Kerry's hand and avoids falling off the stage while doing it. Preznit Barely Intelligible will get bonus points if he does not mispronounce 'nuclear' more than once. Asshats.

Likely Voter polls tend to favor Republicans. This is a year where the numbers who a higher number of people are expected to turn out than in past years. That favors Democrats. The Registered Voter polls are much closer and less slanted this year. They need to stop using the LV polls until much closer to the election. I think Donkey Rising wrote about this yesterday or the day before.
