At least one major pollster is finding that the red states still support Bush (by a wide margin) while the blue states, overall, only marginally support Kerry (if at all). You're too much Buschman. Doesn't look like these states are solidly Bush to me, and given that the economy won't improve on the job front, due to the offshoring I told you about two years ago which you dismissed (LOL), the 68% dissatisfied economic figure is likely to increase. I have also seen John Zogby on numerous political talk shows where he has stated republicans, NATIONWIDE are in danger on the economy. Unfortunately the economy and jobs are trumping terrorism as the issue du jour. And then we have the social security and mediscare problem with Bush fiscal mismanagement that will surely play well in florida. Why can't you just admit Bush is a failure. The center's research director, Michael Dimock, says there are at least 15 states up for grabs in the fall: Minnesota, Arkansas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Oregon, Iowa, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Missouri, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Ohio, Tennessee and (naturally) Florida, birthplace of the chad. (Dimock's list is based on an average of how those states voted in the past three presidential elections.) The good news for Bush is that swing voters, by 2 to 1, agree with his handling of terrorism and the war in Iraq. But there's also good news for Kerry: 68 percent of the undecideds aren't happy with the economy and say Bush could be doing more to improve economic conditions. Gay marriage? Nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of swing voters are opposed to it, which falls almost in the middle between the attitudes of Bush supporters (82 percent opposed) and those of Kerry supporters (43 percent against). They don't call them swing voters for nothing. washingtonpost.com Economy Is No. 1' ``Every state where we have polled, the economy is not only the No. 1 issue, it is far and away the No. 1 issue,'' John Zogby, the chief executive of polling company Zogby International, said in an interview last week. quote.bloomberg.com
