I will rely on Zogby. He has been the most reliable pollster over the last 8 years or so. With all due respect, I think you have picked the most extreme of the polls to hang your hat on. Let's look at the polls that have been released in the last 2 days. ABC: Bush by 4 NY Times: Bush by 5 Gallup: Bush by 5 Investor's Business Daily: Bush by 9 PEW: Bush by 3 CBS: Bush by 2 WSJ: Bush by 3 Voter.com: Bush by 9 POA: Bush by 7 Since the sampling error on most of these polls is around 3%, I think it's fairly easy to see that Bush is about 5% ahead and any poll that has him 1% ahead is a statistical oddity. Furthermore, I believe that most polls show Bush voters more likely to vote and that will enhance the margin.

If I may make a slight correction to what you said about Zogby.........he is a registered Democrat not a Republican. The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained the Bush campaign's most recent internal polling data. The confidential data commissioned by Bush shows the Texas Governor topping Vice President Gore by 5% in Florida, 9% in Michigan and by 2% in California, within the margin of error. The fresh results have given senior Bush staffers a deepened sense of confidence going into Tuesday's election. MORE Bush's internal polling shows the governor up 4% in Washington state and up 10% in Missouri. One sour spot for Bush: Pennsylvania, where he finds himself down 2% into the homestretch. A campaign spokesman refused comment on the polling leak. drudgereport.com
