 2004 Presidential Election
Senator John Kerry has named Senator John Edwards as his running mate for November's election. Very interesting. Kerry was said to not like Edwards personally and to be worried about chemistry. Kerry clearly wants to reach out to workers in the Rust Belt, the (New) South, and midwest. He obviously feels that Edwards can help him there. Kerry announced his choice via e-mail a few minutes before his speech in Pittsburgh. Another first in Internet politics.
Taegan Goddard: "Here are the latest state polls: California - Kerry 52%, Bush 38% (Rasmussen); Michigan - Bush 44%, Kerry 43%, Nader 5% (Detroit News); Michigan - Kerry 51%, Bush 41% (Survey USA)."
Update: A new Gallup poll looks at hispanic support for President Bush against John Kerry. According to Gallup, "The poll was conducted June 9-30, and the sample includes approximately 800 non-Hispanic whites, 800 blacks, and 500 Hispanics. Both the two-way hypothetical contest between Bush and Kerry, and the three-way contest that includes independent Ralph Nader, show a virtual tie overall, with Bush having a one-point lead in each case among registered voters. In the two-way contest, Bush enjoys a 12-point lead over Kerry among whites, 53% to 41%. But among blacks, Kerry wins overwhelmingly (81% to 12%), and among Hispanics he enjoys a 19-point lead (57% to 38%)."
Update: Taegan Goddard: "President Bush and Sen. John Kerry 'remain in a statistical tie among Americans registered to vote,' according to a new American Research Group poll. Nationally - Two-Way Race, Kerry 49%, Bush 45%; Three-Way Race, Kerry 47%, Bush 44%, Nader 3%. Here are the latest state polls: North Carolina - Bush 49%, Kerry 42% (Rasmussen); California - Kerry 52%, Bush 38% (Rasmussen)."
