Re Decided Voters

I keep running into voters who have changed their support from Kerry to Bush. Has anyone else experienced this trend?

Yup! Just this morning, my mother in law (die hard Dem) has stated she can not vote for kerry because of the SBVFT and other sources of information!
Kerry may carry this, his home State but do not be surprised if it is as close as his last run for the Senate! We are not all blind and ABBs here.

I talked to the guy who owns my lawnservice company (he has a BIG business). Here's what he said, "I won't vote for Kerry because of his wife." He is convinced Terezzzzzzaaaas foundations support anti-American coalitions.

It makes sence to me since Gallup reported on 7/29/04 that only 8% of Americans even knew much about Kerry.

Is Kerry a "Blank Slate"?

Americans appear willing to give an opinion of Kerry when asked. The most recent Gallup/CNN/USA Today poll shows that only 8% of Americans said they either had never heard of Kerry or didn't know enough about him to have an opinion (55% viewed Kerry favorably, 37% unfavorably).

Also, a recent Los Angeles Times poll found that only a third of Americans say they don't know enough about Kerry to be able to make a decision on whether he would be a better president than George W. Bush -- not an insignificant number, to be sure, but certainly not a majority.

Still, it is reasonable to assume that Americans know less about Kerry than they do about Bush. Bush has been a constant presence in Americans' living rooms for 3 1/2 years; Kerry was relatively unknown outside of Massachusetts until recently.

Indeed, when pollsters have asked Americans how much they know about Kerry and Bush, the responses indicate a much greater void for the former. A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, for example, asked voters, "How much do you feel you know about (NAME)'s positions on specific issues -- a great deal, a good amount, only some, or hardly anything?", and found that while 74% knew a great deal or a good amount about Bush's stances, only 45% said they knew a great deal or a good amount about Kerry's positions. Thus, the convention this week -- and Kerry's acceptance speech -- presumably will go a long way toward helping voters fill in the blanks in their views about the Democratic nominee.
