Why does Gallup use 38% Repubs and only 32% dems in its poll? Of course Bush is going to have an edge that way, even if it's within the margin of error. Gallup must be assuming Dems won't turn out to vote in November. Think again. In Nov. the DEm voter turnout will be the greatest in history. Proof is Dem voter registration up 250% in Ohio alone compared to 25% for Repubs. The DEms have the biggest youtyh and campus get out the vote campaigns in history, and also in the minority and union communities. Washington, Oct 9 (PTI) A new poll taken after the second presidential debate between US President George W Bush and Democratic candidate John F Kerry indicated a tie with no clear winner emerging from the showdown as American dailies highlighted the "aggressive" tone of the challenge between the rivals. A CNN/USA TODAY/ GALLOP snap poll taken immediately after the debate last night found that respondents gave a slight, statistically insignificant edge to Kerry over Bush, 47 per cent to 45 per cent. The respondents included 515 registered voters who watched the deabte. Their political affiliations broke down as 38 per cent Republican, 32 per cent Democratic and 30 per cent independent. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, making the results a virtual draw. It, however, did suggest that Bush had a significantly better performance than in the first debate, which respondents gave to Kerry by a margin of 53 per cent to 37 per cent. Kerry won by 44 to 41 per cent, according to an ABC News poll taken after the debate at Washington University. Meanwhile, Bush speaking to a Drop-By Debate Watch Party, said about his debate with Kerry: "We had a good debate tonight. There's clear differences of opinion. One thing I hope you could tell is I know what I believe. I know why I need to lead this country to make this world a safer place. And a more hopeful place. For every American." The 'Washington Post' daily highlighted the "aggressive" tone of the debate and concluded there were "plenty of flaws" in the "facts" presented by both. PTI
