WHile Kerry does not lead, this seriously puts a dent in Bush's lead in Tennessee, where he had a double digit lead a month ago.

1. What's with

all of these fractional results?

Something is considered accurate to two or three percent but gets reported into the tenths of a percent?

2. well

maybe it has something to do with the interactive online method of polling that allows more fractional results?

5. Nah

If I poll six people and one of them like Bush I can report that as 16.6667 if I want to.

But you would have to poll tens of thousands of people to make .1% relevant in any way. Probably over 100k.

3. I wouldn't be surprised. I am still in shock from a what a hard core

, war loving Freeper told me at work today. He said he doesn't know who to vote for now. This is guy who calls Al Gore his nemisis.

4. I live in TN and I know LOTS of people who voted for Bush in 2000 but

WILL NOT vote for him this time. I also know LOTS of people who have NEVER voted that WILL vote for Kerry. I think if Kerry pick the right vice president candidate that he will carry TN (plus Democrat Governor Bredson is very popular with both Democrats and Republicans, he has 78% approval rating.
ELECT KERRY 2004!!!!

7. Hi Gayle!

I'm in Tennessee, too!
:)

And this poll is new - it came out May 19 or 20th. It was a shocker to a lot of my Shrubbie-lovin' co-workers. Hahahaha!

6. Zogby Interactive= Worthless

Polls are not scientific and they are done over the internet.

These results do nothing but give us false confidence.

8. That maybe true

But, in this case, I think it's fairly accurate - at least from what I hear from people, what I see - that sort of thing. I think Tennessee is actually probably a little more split that this poll would indicate.
We may be this year's Florida, unfortunately.
But, we don't use Diebolds or touchscreens, thank the Lord in Heaven.

9. Much Closer Than I Would Have Expected

Interesting...
