Kerry Stumbles as Swift Boat Veterans Expose Him

Thursday, Aug. 12, 2004

Unlike the multimillion-dollar Bush-hating 527 groups funded by the likes of George Soros, the modestly budgeted Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has an ad running in only three states. But the Democrat establishment's attempts to censor the veterans has created enough publicity to hurt Sen. John Kerry's candidacy.

A new survey of 1,000 voters in 19 battleground states shows that nearly 6 in 10 had heard of the commercial. Among those, about half said the ad so far hadn't influenced their vote. Nineteen percent said it made them more likely to vote for Kerry, and 27 percent said it made them less likely, according to Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates, a Republican polling firm in Alexandria, Va.
