spoke too soon

Another poll, another result. This time, Dean is over 30 and Kerry's gap is much larger. "Dean had the support of 33 percent to Kerry's 19 percent in the Franklin Pierce College poll conducted Oct. 13-15." What to make of the two different polls? Sounds like 2002 all over again, bad polling because people don't want to be polled anymore.

The order is the same but the gap between Clark and Kerry is larger too. "In the latest poll, Wesley Clark was at 7 percent, Richard A. Gephardt 4 percent, Senator John Edwards at 4 percent, and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman at 3 percent."

Bottom line, the one two three is unchanged and Kerry, who used to be tied with Dean in July is now struggling to regain lost ground, although his positive ratings are high (then again so are Dean's-- 60%). And Kerry really has to win NH. They may pretend otherwise, but really his staff were bragging about a year ago that NH was already in the bag for them. So much for that.
