Bush Tumbles and Kerry Looks Strong in Florida Poll:
Great news in Ohio too as new poll there shows Kerry ahead. Expect more good news in Nevada and Arizona. Could be a wipeout in the works. Liars and cheaters don't win.
Here is the Quinnipiac University Poll:

Democratic challenger John Kerry leads President George W. Bush 47 – 41 percent among Florida voters, with 4 percent for independent candidate Ralph Nader, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. With Nader out of the race, Sen. Kerry leads President Bush 49 – 42 percent.
Bush and Kerry were locked in a 43 – 43 percent dead heat, with 5 percent for Nader, in a June 29 poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN uh-pe-ack) University.
Florida voters disapprove of the job President Bush is doing 54 – 44 percent, compared to a 52 – 46 percent disapproval June 29.
Among Bush backers, 78 percent say they are voting pro-Bush, with 18 percent anti-Kerry; 43 percent of Kerry supporters are anti-Bush, with 51 percent pro-Kerry.
"Sen. Kerry is holding on to a modest bounce from the Democratic convention, with his favorability rating jumping nine points since late June as more Florida voters get to know the Democratic candidate,” said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
“Kerry is seen as the candidate best able to handle the health care issue. The Democrat also is cutting sharply into the perception that the President is the stronger candidate when it comes to dealing with terrorism.”
“Most Florida voters say their mind is made up with only 10 or 11 percent on each side saying they could change their mind,” Richards added. |
