[Vision2020] More Interesting Poll Data

[Carl Westberg]

I have an idea.  If Houston beats St. Louis tonight and gets into the World 
Series, let's not have an election.  If the Boston Red Sox (those liberals 
from Massachusetts) win, John Kerry's the next President.  If Houston (those 
swaggering cowboys from Texas) win, George W. Bush is re-elected.  No muss, 
no fuss.  No recounts.                                                       
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                Carl

>In the poll, taken by the University of Minnesota's Institute for Public

>"With just two weeks to go until the election, neither Gallup nor Zogby
>has broken out," Dr. Bevins says. "It is really too close to call."

>Perhaps in response to the ever-tightening race between the rival
>polling companies, the competition between Gallup and Zogby has grown
>increasingly nasty in recent days, with both companies airing expensive
>negative television ads attacking each other.

>In one particularly vicious attack ad, Gallup accused Zogby of
>"flip-flopping" on whether Sen. John Kerry or President Bush was ahead
>in the race.
>
>But Zogby soon retaliated with an attack ad of its own, accusing Gallup
>of having a lesbian daughter.

>For his part, Dr. Bevins warns that the accuracy of his own poll may be

>phone: "We find that a lot of people are unwilling to answer the phone
>these days because they're afraid it might be Bill O'Reilly."
