Polls of "Battleground" States Kerry Bush Rasmussen* 48 48 AP-Ipsos* 50 46 Marist 50 43 Pew 49 43 NBC / WSJ 49 43 CBS / NYT* 51 40 Harris** 47 47 Gallup 46 46 WaPost 50 45 * = likely voters ** = LV2 modelThe averages look horrible for incumbent Bush:
Kerry Bush Simple Mean 48.9 44.6 Central Mean 49.0 44.6 Median 49.0 45.0 Mode 50.0 43.0All of these polls were conducted entirely after the third debate, and are listed in the order in which they were conducted. In every case, Kerry runs better in the battleground states than he does nationally. This goes a long way toward explaining Kerry's performance in state polls vs. his performance in national polls.
Bush has revved up his base in Utah and Alabama to the point of setting them on fire. Good for him,, and a fat lot of good it will do him. Mystery pollster quotes from Fox / Opinion Dynamics, which uses a heavily regional based weighting system to produce their polls, and is one of only two polls to show a large Bush lead:
