Online Polls Swamping Bush
John LeBoutillierThursday, Oct. 14, 2004 After each of the three presidential debates, various news organizations have posted ‘online polling sites’ for any of us to go online and ‘vote’ for the winner.
Have you been paying attention to these?
Have you voted and seen the constantly updating results?
In every one of these - and the vice presidential one, too - the results have Kerry swamping Bush. Often the margin is about 80%-20%.
Yes, pro-Kerry ‘voters’ are being directed by the Democratic National Committee and the Kerry Campaign to ‘vote’ on these sites in order to generate a positive ‘Kerry Wins Debate’ story for the next news cycle. That is obvious.
But here is something curious: why isn’t the Bush Campaign and the RNC doing the same thing?
Why are the Republicans ceding this news headline to the Democrats and thus helping them create a positive ‘spin’ for Kerry?
As former Howard Dean campaign manager and Internet political guru Joe Trippi said last Friday on MSNBC, “The Bush Campaign boasts of having an email list of 7.5 million supporters. Why aren’t those people ‘voting’ as pro-Kerry supports are?”
Does this refusal of pro-Bush supporters to bother to ‘vote’ in these online polls presage a lethargy on November 2 when the real voting takes place?
That may be the significance of the Kerry online post-debate ‘victories.’
The passion differential is the key to this race: that is the difference between the white-hot anti-Bush forces versus the pro-Bush side.
Kerry is riding a wave of hatred/loathing/disdain/disgust of GW Bush that is causing unprecedented new levels of registration all over the country.
All accounts so far are of a disproportionate Democratic tide of new registrants for this election.
Logic tells us that the DNC and George Soros-paid-for registration effort will be followed by a massive and efficient get-out-the-vote effort on Election Day. Otherwise, why go to the expense and effort of getting new registrants at all?
This anti-Bush fervor is exemplified with the zeal with which these people hop online and begin ‘voting’ right after each debate.
Worrisome for the pro-Bush side is repeated ‘losses’ in these otherwise meaningless polls - coupled with a much less successful job of registering new GOP voters.
Indeed, there is inside the GOP base a certain small - but significant - fraction of previous Bush voters who will not vote for him this time. Just that subtraction of 1% or 2% of his 2000 vote could cost him the election this time.
That is why these online ‘polls’ may be a leading indicator of trouble looming on Election Day for the Bush-Cheney campaign.
