The interactive poll of 19,033 likely voters, which included 501 undecided likely voters and those most likely to change their minds, was conducted from Wednesday through Tuesday (Aug. 11-24, 2004) by the Zogby/Williams Institute. Overall results have a margin of sampling error of +/0.7. Margin of error for undecided voters is +/- 4.5.

Zogby Interactive respondents were invited to participate from panels of likely voters who have agreed to take part in online surveys.

All surveys were completed from Wednesday, Aug. 11, through Tuesday Aug. 24, 2004. Slight weights were applied to region, party, age, race, religion and gender to more accurately reflect the voting population in the United States.

Disappointing Turnout for Anti-Bush March

Organizers had hoped that a New York City protest march on Sunday against President Bush and the war in Iraq would attract up to a million participants.

But according to official NYPD estimates, the march - staged by the radical umbrella group United for Peace and Justice and timed to coincide with the beginning of the GOP Convention - drew a relatively paltry 100,000 protesters.

The group had obtained a city permit to march that stipulated 250,000 participants - two and a half times the number of those who actually showed up. And the NYPD was girding for a possible 400,000 marchers, with dozens of mounted police units at the ready and police vans standing by for hundreds of arrests.
However, the march came off largely without incident, with the exception of a giant paper mache dragon costume that was torched by suspected anarchists near Madison Square Garden.
