2004 Presidential Election

Taegan Goddard: ""Two weeks before Election Day, voters hold a sharply critical view of President Bush's record in office, but they have strong reservations about Senator John Kerry, leaving the race in a tie," according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. Among registered voters, both candidates each have 46%. Among likely voters, Bush has 47%, with Kerry at 46%. Here are some notable state polls: New Hampshire - Kerry 46, Bush 41 (Suffolk University); Florida - Kerry 50, Bush 49 (Survey USA); Pennsylvania - Kerry 51, Bush 45 (Survey USA); Arkansas - Bush 51, Kerry 46 (Survey USA); North Carolina - Bush 50, Kerry 47 (Survey USA); Colorado - Bush 51, Kerry 45 (Gallup); Minnesota - Bush 47, Kerry 47 (Rasmussen)."

Electoral-vote.com: "Kerry keeps moving up in the electoral college. A new Survey USA poll shows he has now inched ahead of Bush in Florida, although his 1% lead means the state is still a statistical tie. Nevertheless, we now show Kerry with more than the critical 270 votes in the electoral college to win. Perhaps more signficant, though, is the fact that in states where Kerry's lead is at least 5%, he has 228 electoral votes. In states where Bush's lead is at least 5%, he has 183 electoral votes. Clearly the race is still wide open."

Update: Taegan Goddard: "Reuters/Zogby shows the presidential race tied at 45%, with 7% still undecided. TIPP also shows a tie at 45% in a two-man race, but gives Bush a 2 point lead in a three-man race. Rasmussen has Bush leading by just one point, 48% to 47%."

Update: Taegan Goddard: "The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows the presidential race in a dead heat: Kerry 48%, Bush 48%. The Fox News poll shows a Bush lead: Bush 48%, Kerry 42%. The latest Zogby Interactive Poll shows Bush leading in seven of the 16 battleground states, 'up from the three states he held two weeks ago... But Mr. Bush's leads in several states -- including closely watched Florida -- are tenuous, and rival Sen. John Kerry managed to hang on to big, electoral-vote-rich states including Pennsylvania and Michigan.' Meanwhile, there are new state polls: Ohio - Kerry 47, Bush 47 (Rasmussen); Ohio - Bush 49, Kerry 44 (Fox News); Ohio - Kerry 49, Bush 47 (Survey USA)."

Update: Taegan Goddard: "Here are the latest electoral vote tallies which are updated daily (270 needed to win): Electoral Vote Predictor - Kerry 284, Bush 247; The Hotline - Bush 227, Kerry 214; 2.004k.com - Kerry 289, Bush 232; Slate - Kerry 284, Bush 254; Race 2004 - Kerry 218, Bush 205; MyDD - Kerry 316, Bush 222."

Update: Daily Kos: "New Hampshire - Suffolk Univ. 10/14-17. MOE 4%. (No trend lines.), Kerry 47, Bush 41"

Denver November 2004 Election

Early voting started yesterday.

I guess endorsements by both Denver dailies did not seal the deal for Ken Salazar, according to the Rocky Mountain News [October 19, 2004, "Poll: Coors jumps ahead"]. From the article, "Beer baron Pete Coors has pulled ahead of Attorney General Ken Salazar in the U.S. Senate race in a poll that finally reflects the GOP's voter-registration advantage in Colorado. Coors leads Salazar 45 to 40 percent, according to the latest poll for the Rocky Mountain News and News 4. Salazar led Coors 52 percent to 42 percent a month ago...Spokesman Cody Wertz said a CNN/USA Today poll also released Monday showed Salazar with a 1-point lead...The poll was conducted last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday among 400 self-described voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent. The poll shows Salazar winning in Denver and on the Western Slope, and Coors winning in El Paso County, the surrounding area and the Plains. The candidates are tied in Jefferson and Arapahoe counties, and Coors has a tiny edge in the northern suburbs. Statewide, Coors leads among men, 48 percent to 38 percent, and has a slight lead, 43-41 percent, among women. But among suburban men, Coors had a 55-33 percent lead, while Salazar has a slight edge, 41-39 percent, among suburban women. Weigel said 13 percent of suburban women are undecided."

Here's a story about the 1st Congressional battle from the Rocky [October 19, 2004, "GOP hopeful in uphill fight"]. From the article, "They have a debate scheduled Oct. 26, and they've appeared jointly at a candidates forum. But other than that, DeGette has been doing her own thing on the campaign trail. In the last 70 years, exactly two Republicans have been elected to Congress from the 1st District - Dean M. Gillespie in 1944 and James D. "Mike" McKevitt in 1970."
