NBC: Kerry Now Beating Bush 49% to 46%. Reporter Seemed Baffled!

[Raya]

This is unbelievable! Huge gap between Kerry/Bush and Dean/Bush.
(didn't get exact numbers).

Is it possible that Kerry and his "Band of Brothers" movie could
help us win back the House and the Senate?

I'm thinking "Band of Brothers" is going to out-draw "Pigs-at-the-Trough"
even in the South with a few guys like Hollings leading the charge.
Hollings say he is a big Kerry supporter and wanted him to run in
2000 instead of Gore. Hollings is no NE liberal.

Wouldn't it be incredible to have guy with 93% progressive rating
in the White House with a Dem House and Senate? We could @##@@ turn
the whole thing around.

Hey, and this just after State of Union speech. This is like
super-natural, mind-bending stuff!

This is scary. I am waiting for them to release a retraction and say
it was a mistake.

And they say the Guy is gearing up to play hockey today.

I've said it before:



Could Rolling Stone’s Will Dana have nailed it better: “John Kerry projects an aura of friendly confidence that suggests he is either out of touch with reality or has the serenity of a Zen master.”

1. HOLY Crap!

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!

On edit: Bush is RIPE!! 52% do not want to see Bush re-elected, 47% STRONGLY OPPOSED to re-election....only 42% FOR re-election! Off of MSNBC

Sorry for the bad language...I am FLYING right now, though!

[MoonRiver]

2. WOW! I just posted about another poll where * was one pt. ahead of Clark

This is even worse news for the Moron.

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. alright baby!!!!

Get on board the Kerry Express, coming to a town near you.

:)

[cthrumatrix]

4. they had ABB is the same poll numbers a week ago.

[meti57b]

5. Great news!!!

Especially after reading some discouraging stuff here, last nite.

[MaineDem]

6. Music to my ears!!!

Let's keep this train rolling!!!

[Sly Kal]

7. Nice manipulation by the right

Just in time to get everyone on the Kerry wagon for tuesday. Kerry couldn't beat bush with a stick if Bush were tied in a chair.
People, don't fall for this.

[MaineDem]

9. I disagree with you

But that's what elections are all about! :)

[NNN0LHI]

10. So says you. I vehemently disagree n/t

[adadem]

17. Me, too n/t

[Ripley]

38. Unfortunately you are probably right.

Kerry won't beat him because it will be a rerun of the Gore/Smirk debates. Boring and you won't be able to tell the difference between them because he will be so polite and agreeable. So millions of people will, yet again, stay home and say "why bother to vote?"

[soleft]

8. Did you notice how how the female anchor seemed to asking

is there any hope for the President? This was reported as if it was very sad and dire news.

[otohara]

13. Hope NOT

Poor Bushie, can't beat New England democrat? The world is collapsing around the corporate mediawhores. Time to start working overtime to prop up boy king.

This is great news, hope is alive

[MoonRiver]

14. Awwwww, it's so sad.

:cry: :D

[Guaranteed]

22. She did seem...sullen...somehow...nt

[Sensitivity]

25. Are they going to keep this low key because of effect on NH Primary

[mitchum]

11. Knock him out, John!

[patricia92243]

12. Hope pubs aren't pumping up polls so Kerry will win and then they know

they can beat the socks off him.

[MoonRiver]

15. I really don't think they could take a chance on that.

Anytime * is seen as losing or on the defensive it demoralizes the Repub base. * is treading on very thin ice over Iraq and unemployment plus many other issues. I think this is the real thing. * is going down for the count!

[blm]

24. The GOP wants the guy who exposed Reagan and Bush's illegal activities

in their administrations?

What makes you think they want to face him again?

[WiseMen]

32. Keep reading this theme on DU. Where do you get this from?

[Guaranteed]

16. Well, looks like they're going to catch Osama, now

It's about frickin time, though.

[MoonRiver]

18. If they do, it won't be alive, imo.

OBL has too much dirt on the cabal.

[adadem]

26. Has anybody heard

any more about this...I saw the UPI release about the German story but nothing else.

[DJcairo]

19. Link?

[jpgray]

20. Good news no matter who you support! Eat it, Bush! (nt)

[WiseMen]

54. Oh Yes. Which all here would say this

[Sensitivity]

21. Is this on MSNBC.com? Turned on Cable. But talking about movies??

[Cocoa]

23. Kerry the Zen master

he does have a Phil Jackson-like quality to him.

Has anyone ever suggested he grow a beard? That would look great. Maybe after he wins. :-)

[WiseMen]

36. Kerry has a truly unique quality that may win out over his "Liberal" rep.

[Sensitivity]

27. MSNBC has some stupid documentary on now

[flaminbats]

28. So did Dukakis and Gore...

I'm not saying Kerry has Greek roots, I am saying that this "aura of friendly confidence that suggests he is either out of touch with reality or has the serenity of a Zen master” is just as likely to be a disadvantage as an advantage.

At least we know that shrub is having real problems if his polls go down after the State of the Onion...must be the bad aftertaste!

[WiseMen]

29. I agree. Winning in Nov. will depend on total grass-roots ground campaign

Dem will have to build an army, state by state, county by county, town by town to resist Repub assault and perhaps take the battle to the enemy.

[rolodomo]

30. Amazing this far out from the general election...

We have not even reach the point a maximum publicity. This is good. Just think when the nominee can start hammering the message home unimpeded.

I have to admire Kerry, all through his life he keeps showing that he has a gut made of concrete and reinforced steel. During a crisis and when the chips are down, I can't think of a better person to have in charge (except for Clark of course :-))

[duhneece]

58. So what do you think about Clark/Kerry or Kerry/Clark

Too much military?

[WiseMen]

31. All Serious analysts predicted that Kerry was Much stronger vs Bush

New numbers just confirm what was known by experts. But repub
dirty tricks will be a major factor in the end.

[CalebHayes]

33. America, catching on?

[WiseMen]

56. Okay. Amazing

[spooky3]

34. I hope this poll is accurate. Go all Dems!!!

[bigtree]

35. Zen Master

:toast:

[Monte Carlo]

37. Whaddya know? He's finally out-polling Al Sharpton.

I guess his campaign is not-so-lackluster after all.

[Octafish]

57. Yeeeeeeaargh!

Ha ha ha ha!!!!

[tryanhas]

39. Skull and Bones v Skull and Bones

Who cares???

Same secret society equals same interests!

Record does not matter, he is still beholden to the same codes and the same OVERALL Skull and Bones secret society agenda.

A President Kerry would do EVERYTHING that a President Bush would have done in his second term to make sure that things are the way that Skull and Bones wants, and Skull and Bones is more than a college fraternity!!!

It is a secret society, and an elite one at that.

Well, I'm sick and tired of a White House stained with secrecy. Kerry would keep the "SHADOW GOVERNMENT" because Skull and Bones wants it...

[SidDithers]

59. Riiiiight...nt

:tinfoilhat:

Sid

[WiseMen]

40. Fox News just reported on same poll. Did not catch whose poll

[Walt Starr]

41. I must be in that other 5%

because I sure as hell wouldn't be voting for Kerry.

[TheDonkey]

42. National poll? Margin of error? sampling size?

Good news but i wouldn't put too much money on it.

[Eric J in MN]

52. Newsweek poll of a thousand people (nt)

nt

[Insurance_Analyst]

43. This really concerns me because Bush is always benefitted...

from LOW expectations. It would be better if Kerry is viewed as the underdog IMHO!!!

[adamrsilva]

44. Shee-at!!!!

Can we have the election now then?

[WiseMen]

45. We Should. Fox Opinion Dynamics: Nationwide Kerry 59% says has

the "Temperment" to be President. Dean gets 26%. Did not say what Bush got, but I am sure we may yet hear.

[IndianaGreen]

46. The fact that Kerry can't get to the 50% means that he will lose...

in the Fall. Kerry has yet to be attacked by the Rove PR machine, and Kerry is very vulnerable in so many ways. In addition, Kerry won't be able to energize and hold the base of his own party, as well as those independents that oppose the war on moral and ethical grounds.

Barney will have four more Xmas's in the White House!

[TheDonkey]

47. sooooo.... if he is doing best now under %50 and he is going to fail

then who would u like to see go against bush?

Jesus?

It's a little early to be making coffins for anyones presidential run. But your optimisim is appreciated.

[gauguin57]

48. eeeek!

No! It's too early for Kerry to be polling ahead of El Chimpo! He needs to build up to a surprise lead right before the General Election!

The Rethugs will smell blood and start doing telephone push-polls that insinuate Kerry has illegitimate children or engages in devil worship.

And yet ... Kerry needs to build heavy support early enough to live through the October Surprise ... Dick Cheney escorting Osama out of the basement of the White House where they've had him on ice.

Seriously ... I don't put any dirty trick past those amoral GOPers. They're probably all sitting around with a Ouija Board, trying to reach Lee Atwater in hell, asking him what horrible thing they can do to Kerry.

[IndianaGreen]

50. Wes Clark will do best against Bush

All of the candidates that voted for this war are wounded, Kerry more so than Edwards. Edwards has the advantage that he cannot be pegged as a Washington insider, and he is a fresh face, plus Edwards cannot be tagged as another "Massachusetts liberal."

[Bush loves Jiang]

49. Hollings is an asshole though...

His contempt for cyber-liberties (i.e. Fritz chip) makes him the quintessential crypto-repuke.

[WiseMen]

51. Hi Raya, Detail of poll now out -- Newsweek web report

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4049942

[WiseMen]

53. Correction. Detailed story show Dean 45% to Bush 50%. Not Bad

[LBJBestEver]

55. I am astonished by this.

I am amazed Bush is down this much this early. Usually the incumbent has inflated numbers. Supposedly Bush's SOTU has generated alot of negative feelings. I think people are tiring of all the war and fear mongering by him.
