Sept 2 Poll Shows Bush-Kerry Tied September 2, 2004 Kerry and Bush Remain Tied John Kerry and George W. Bush remain tied in the race for president both among Americans registered to vote and among likely voters according to a nationwide survey from the American Research Group, Inc. In the ballot preference between Kerry and Bush among registered voters, 48% say they would vote for Kerry and 46% say they would vote for Bush. When Ralph Nader is added to the ballot, 46% of registered voters say they would vote for Kerry, 45% say they would vote for Bush, and 3% say they would vote for Nader. Among registered voters considered likely to vote in November, Bush is at 48% and Kerry is at 47% in a two-way ballot. With Nader in the race, Bush and Kerry are tied at 47% each among likely voters and Nader is at 3%. The results presented here are based on 1,014 completed telephone interviews conducted among a nationwide random sample of registered voters. Of the total sample of 1,014 registered voters, 800 are likely voters in November. The interviews were completed August 30 through September 1, 2004. The theoretical margin of error for the total sample of registered voters is plus or minus 3 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split. The theoretical margin of error for the sample of likely voters is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split. While Kerry was leading among Independents by 10 percentage points in a two-way match-up in August, Kerry leads by 5 percentage points among Independents in the latest survey.

<Kerry needs to counter attack> ..... RIGHT! ..... .......... <and still talk about the issues of jobs, incomes, health care, etc.> ..... but only generally and only in an attack mode. Kerry needs to stop talking about what he is going to do or, for that matter, what he and Edwards are going to do. He needs to stop using Edwards' name. Kerry simply needs to attack and tell the public what Bush has done or, better yet, not done. This is a negative campaign. That's the way it's going to be. The Republicans aren't running on any record of achievement and are insisting this be a negative campaign. /john

I agree that Kerry needs to counter-attack. His opponents are among the filthiest that this country has ever seen and he has to be tough and strong with them. Also, the Kerry camp has to be pro-active and think of all possible dirty tricks that the Dumbya campaign can come up against him, so that if and when an attack happens, they can deal with them right then and there, instead of letting it fester and gather momentum for several days. Clearly, they were caught flat-footed by the Swift Paddle-boat Liars. They can't afford to let such a thing happen again.
