The latest polls are as expected. From
www.pollingreport.com:
Quote:"Suppose the 2004 election for president were being held today, and you had to choose between George W. Bush, the Republican, John Kerry, the Democrat, and Ralph Nader -- for whom would you vote?" .
George W. Bush - 45%
John Kerry - 47%
Ralph Nader - 4%
Kerry holds on to a tenuous lead over Bush while Nader's support dwindles as the election nears. Compare these results with the results from a month ago:
Quote:6/2-4/04: "Now suppose the 2004 election for president were being held today, and you had to choose between George W. Bush, the Republican, John Kerry, the Democrat, and Ralph Nader, running as an independent -- for whom would you vote?" If undecided: "Even if you haven't made up you mind yet, do you lean more toward supporting Bush, Kerry, or Nader?"
George Bush - 48%
John Kerry - 43%
Ralph Nader - 6%
The conventional wisdom - that Naders support will wither away as we get closer to the election - has be borne out. Delusions of Nader grabbing 8-10% of the electorate have proven unfounded. However, Nader remains a serious threat because he is snatching roughly 2-3 percentage points from John Kerry.
Have any of the Nader supporters in this thread changed thier minds?
