2004 Presidential Election
John Kerry will be in Colorado Friday hosting a town meeting on affordable healthcare, according to the Rocky Mountain News [September 16, 2004, "Kerry, Nader to visit Colorado"]. From the article, "Kerry will make his fourth visit to Colorado since June on Friday afternoon when the Democratic nominee hosts a town meeting on affordable health care at Aurora's Rangeview High School, 17599 E. Iliff Ave. Seating is limited at the Kerry event. Tickets can be reserved by calling 303-830-0232. The doors at Rangeview will open for ticket holders at 1:15 p.m. and attendees are advised to arrive early. They will have to pass through a security checkpoint before being admitted into the gymnasium."
Taegan Goddard: "New polls. A survey by the New Democrat Network finds President Bush leading Sen. John Kerry, 49% to 45%, but also finds some very troubling news for Democrats: 'Likely voters believe that the Democratic Party would do a better job in handling the major domestic issues of the day, but a majority do not believe that the Democratic Party or its standard-bearer has made clear its agenda for the future. 56 percent of voters believe that the GOP has a clear agenda for the future; only 45 percent say that the Democratic Party has one.' However, a new Harris Interactive poll shows Kerry leading Bush 48% to 47% among likely voters nationwide. 'The poll also found that a slender 51% to 45% majority doesn't believe that Mr. Bush deserves to be re-elected.' Here are the latest state polls: Minnesota - Bush 46%, Kerry 45% (Mason-Dixon); Minnesota - Kerry 49%, Bush 45% (Strategic Vision); Pennsylvania - Bush 47%, Kerry 44% (Quinnipiac)."
Electoral-vote.com: "Several polls today give contradictory results. In states such as Illinois, New York, and Oregon, Kerry's lead is shrinking to 4%, 8%, and 3%, respectively. Bush is unlikely to win any of these states, but Kerry is clearly having problems there. On the other hand, Kerry is doing better in some of the key battleground states. A new Gallup poll in Michigan puts him ahead 50% to 44%. An ABC News poll in Pennsylvania cuts Bush's lead to a bare 1%, 49% to 48%, a data point corroborated by the Rasmussen 7-day tracking poll. And in all-important Ohio, the Rassmussen 7-day tracking poll also puts Bush ahead by a mere 1%, 49% to 48%. The Strategic Vision poll stays in the spreadsheet for the moment, but tomorrow Rasmussen's becomes more recent and will take over. Conclusion: Kerry is slipping is some states where he was way ahead, but is making a comeback in the real battleground states."
