2004 Presidential Election
John Kerry is hunkered down south of Denver preparing for the Town Hall forum on Friday night, according to the Rocky Mountain News [October 7, 2004, "Kerry training hard at suburban hotel"]. The President will be in Colorado on Monday and Tuesday.
Electoral-vote.com: "Kerry's post-debate surge is continuing, with him taking the lead in Pennsylvania according to polls from West Chester University, Survey USA, and Franklin and Marshall college. Neither candidate now has the 270 electoral votes needed to win, and many of the states are statistical ties. Michigan and New Hampshire are exact ties. If Kerry wins Michigan and Bush wins New Hampshire, then Kerry wins the election 270-268."
Taegan Goddard: "Sen. John Kerry's strong performance in the first debate has helped him among likely voters in 16 battleground states, according to the latest Zogby Interactive poll. Kerry 'now holds leads, albeit some of them razor-thin, in 13 states, an improvement from the 11 he held three weeks ago. Notably, Mr. Kerry overtook President Bush in Ohio, a critical swing state where he had been trailing since mid-July.' Here are some notable state polls: Pennsylvania - Kerry 48, Bush 41 (Franklin and Marshall); Pennsylvania - Kerry 49, Bush 47 (Survey USA); Missouri: Bush 51, Kerry 45 (Rasmussen); Maine - Kerry 49, Bush 47 (Survey USA); Florida - Bush 48, Kerry 44 (Mason-Dixon)."
Update: Ed Fitzgerald: "Tempus fugit - Out with the old survey of Electoral College tracking / prediction / projection / forecast / scoreboard / map sites, and in with the new."
Update: Taegan Goddard: "Colorado is tied."
Update Josh Marshall: "Uh-oh ... Kerry over Bush 50% to 46% among likely voters in the new AP/Ipsos poll."
Update: Taegan Goddard: "By nearly all measures, the presidential race is tightening. An ABC News tracking poll shows Bush leading Kerry, 49% to 47%. The Rasmussen Tracking poll has the race tied at 47%."
