Hating is what is costing your party every day..... Spew nothing but doom and gloom.... You and your party need to change your outlook on life. Until then, the hatred will continue to consume your energy and ever waking moment.

Bush bounds to five-point lead in poll taken 'pre-Osama' NewsStand - Saturday, October 30, 2004 NY Post DEBORAH ORIN Washington Bureau Chief October 30, 2004 President Bush jumped to a 5-point nationwide lead in a Fox News poll out yesterday amid growing but very cautious optimism among Republicans that the president will win Florida and the swing state of Iowa. Nationally, Bush was at 50 percent to Kerry's 45 with Ralph Nader under 1 percent in the Fox poll conducted Wednesday and Thursday evening. It has an error margin of 3 percentage points. Bush's edge came from a big lead among men of 54 to 41 percent, while Kerry had a much smaller lead among women of 49 to 45 percent. The poll was taken before the revelation of a new Osama bin Laden tape attacking Bush. The ABC national tracking poll also had Bush moving ahead to a 50-47 percent lead, but the Zogby national tracking poll had a tie at 47 percent each. Unlike the others, which show a pro-Bush trend, Zogby showed a slight trend toward Kerry. All the polls are within the margin of error but at this late stage, analysts say trends matter most. Kerry aides point to registered (rather than likely) because they expect a big turnout. Kerry does better with registered voters a 47-47 percent tie in the Fox poll. In Florida, most late polls suggest a slim Bush lead. Republicans say their tracking shows those Floridians who say they've voted early tilt pro-Bush. But Democrats say their strong get-out-the-vote push, especially in Miami, will win it. "It all revolves around Florida," said a senior Democratic strategist, who conceded it will be tough for Kerry to stop Bush if the president can hold onto the state that gave him the White House in 2000 by a 537-vote margin. That's why Kerry spent all day yesterday in Florida, First Lady Laura Bush made a solo trip Thursday and Bush plans to spend all of tomorrow in Florida as will Rudy Giuliani and Gulf War commander Norman Schwarzkopf. There are 270 electoral votes needed to win. If Bush holds all the states that he won in 2000, he'd have 278 because of population shifts. If he holds all his 2000 states except Ohio (20 electoral votes), he'd still be at 258 just 12 short. Bush could make those 12 up by winning Iowa (7) where some Democrats concede Bush now leads plus just about any other state he lost in 2000. Polls show Wisconsin (10), Minnesota (10), Pennsylvania (21), Ohio (20) and Michigan (17) all too close to call. If Bush holds Florida, he'd almost certainly win the White House with any one of those five. Kerry would need all five. But if Kerry wins Florida, the dynamic is reversed and it's Bush who needs a virtual Midwest sweep.
