Check out this poll.

After you click on the link, wait about 5 seconds or so for the map to pop up. Then click on your state of choice.

It may not be "scientific" but it is very "interesting."

All this means is that more of us still using AOL are voting for Bush.

I guess all those using less expensive internet providers may vote differently. .... or maybe this is the true split and the pollers are adhering to a pre 9/11 split of Rep. Dem & Ind.

This poll is as good as any. Scientific shmientific, rejoice over the poll...party your arse off, enjoy life...., then vote for Bush.

Of course the poll can't be accurate, who cares, any excuse to have a good time is good enough for me! Laughing

If that poll is accurate, I won't survive the post election revelry.

Yes, I know it is not "scientific," but I do think it is very revealing.

Most of the polls the MSM uses only has a sample size of around 1,000 people.

This "straw poll" has around 210,000 people.

Bush 55% 478 EC The clear winner! Very Happy

Kerry 44% 60 EC

If I remember my statistics right, the closer your "sample size" gets to the actual "population size" the more validity it has.

The other thing I like about the aol straw poll, is that it knows "where you live" so it is able to allocate your vote(s) to your state, so it gives us a peek at what the distibution is across the country give those aol users.

It is true that you can vote as many times as you have screen names, but this is true of either side, so I am sure it probably happens with considerable frequency.

Nevertheless, I believe that it is more accurate than the polls the "pundits" use.

Final Note: I personally believe that Kerry is not getting above 30% of the electorate. What scares me is that I think that the MSM is trying to convince us that Kerry has more support than that, using the "polls" as their proof. Then I think they are going to try to steal the election with voter fraud.

I don't believe that I would call that poll "accurate," just more evidence that I think the MSM is attempting to manipulate the public.

Consider this: the MSM keeps claiming that Bush lost all three debates. I completely disagree with that.

No matter what the MSM tells us, we have to VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

The Democratic party is not the party of the working man anymore. It's the party of the elites--not AOL users.

Thanks to Chuck and Barbie. I needed a little pick-me-up. However, the left coast hat trick seems a bit much but works for dreams.

I like the betting mans' poll numbers, even though I'm not a gambler. You know they must be pretty confident to place money on the race.

On the other hand, this electoral college poll (linked below) has been showing a disturbing trend since the third debate, showing Bush gradually losing his commanding electoral lead, and Kerry now potentially garnering enough electoral votes to win the election!

It seems to be just too close to be confident in any particular outcome.

Bush Country ... Map of U.S. Counties Won by President George W. Bush on November 7, 2000

Not too hard to believe as Gore had at least a chance back then, Bush was the unknown in all actuallity and the DUI last minute.. early call election.

This President is a likeable guy to average Americans. Kerry isn't.

I see one problem with the map from a southern stand point and that is that no poll or map I have seen has Ms or La as "weak" Bush. I have lived in the south all my 50+ years and Bush will win big in both Ms and La. There are several other areas that are very different from the recent polls I have been seeing. Looks a little fishy to me but I'm just a voter not a poli-pundit.
