Department of Pointless Polling: Lurch Heinz Kerry Would Defeat Bush in New US Election

Should we tell the "intellectual, smarter than everybody else" libtards that Bush can't run in '08? I don't think they know that!
By the way... didn't all the polls say that Lurch would win in 2004? And what will the Demented-crats do without their boogie man come November 2008?

Kerry Would Defeat Bush in New U.S. Election

The outcome of the 2004 United States presidential election would be different if a new ballot took place this year, according to a poll by Bloomberg and the Los Angeles Times. 47 percent of respondents would vote for Democrat John Kerry, while 40 percent would support Republican George W. Bush.

In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the U.S. Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2004, Bush earned a second term after securing 286 electoral votes from 31 states. Kerry received 252 electoral votes from 19 states and the District of Columbia. As far as the popular vote is concerned, Bush garnered 51.03 percent of all cast ballots, with Kerry getting 48.04 percent.

In a January 2005 interview with NBC's Tim Russert, Kerry expressed satisfaction with his campaign, saying, "I won the youth vote. I won the independent vote. I won the moderate vote. If you take half the people at an Ohio State football game on Saturday afternoon and they were to have voted the other way, you and I would be having a discussion today about my State of the Union speech."

On Apr. 20, Kerry discussed the possibility of a presidential bid in 2008, saying, "I will make that decision before the end of the year but I'm thinking about it hard." The Massachusetts senator jokingly added, "If you can help me find 60,000 votes in Ohio."

Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.

Of course.. what is being gnored here is that an election would not be held without a campaign...

Well, there's 13% of undecideds in that poll, so since this would ostensibly be an election, those 13% couldn't vote undecided, so the poll is useless - like every other poll since Novemeber 2004 and until November 2008.
This is just another meaningless story that the mainstream libtard media can trumpet instead of the story about the CIA agent who was fired for leaking classified information to the press.

I guess the next poll will state that "Clinton would have killed Bin Laden if he had made the decision today."
