1001 Americans interviewed, 568 were likely voters.......Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................
Well if that dosn't speak for ALL of America, I don't know what does...
Polls are a joke and everyone knows it..............
Truth: Statistics require a control group and legitimate sample size. 568 "Likely Voters" out of 191,000,000 Americans of voting age? Tell me the Statsistics Professor or Corporate Marketing VP, who would hang there reputation or job on that sample poll...And I will show you a quickly unemployed one.....

February 2004? The article you cited states, “…Bush has yet to launch his campaign in earnest, meaning the poll numbers are all but certain to shift.”
That poll was taken before Kerry gained the nomination and before the Swiftboating attacks and the flip-flopping attacks.
It’s early yet but the Republicans will be laboring under the reality of two terms of the Bush presidency and things aren’t getting any better.

according to a recent poll, 95% of people don't believe in polls.

Poll numbers are not BS, and if you knew anything about statistical analysis you wouldn't postulate such lies.
With enough of a population, or number of people polled versus total amount of people available to poll, accuracy can be obtained with a plus or minus of a few points, usually a plus or minus 5.
Statistics, probability, and outcome are mathematics taught at almost every institution of higher learning I know of.
So, do YOUR defeat dance early, con. You deserve it!

ck4829 - There's a difference between a "poll" and a "prediction"
Hmmm, "likely voters" eh? I don't remember them ever calling me!

We didn't need proof, we already knew they were B.S. we just like throwing the numbers they are so fond of back at them.

So, does that make the Bush Administration a bunch of idiots?
They predicted the Republicans would keep Congress in 2006.
