Is this really from CNN?
CNN, yes I said CNN, has announced that if the election were held today, President Bush would be re-elected. It had to happen, it just amazes me that CNN is the first network to go public with such a revelation.
Here's their take:
"Bush would receive 274 electoral votes to Kerry's 264 if the election were held today, less than 10 weeks before November 2 and three days before the opening of the GOP convention in Madison Square Garden. If Kerry were to pick up a state as small as Nevada, the electoral vote would be tied, throwing the election into the House of Representatives.Additionally, they note the possibility of a tie should Kerry pick up a state with five electoral votes, such as Nevada. Bet the Dem's are paying attention to that one.CNN's political unit compiled the electoral map after reviewing state polls and conducting extensive interviews with pollsters from both campaigns, as well as local political reporters, strategists and consultants."
Other sites which follow the polls still show it the other way around, even though one, Election Projection, has "21 Reasons Bush Will Win." You can see both by checking here and here.
Hat tip, Slings And Arrows. Those who frequented the early days of the Little Red Blog may remember this post with my projections. Side note: I do hope I'm getting better at this after taking a look back at that post.
