(CNN) -- Today, 74 percent of those surveyed said Bush won "fair and square." In 2000, the figure was only 48 percent.Four years ago, Bush beat Gore by just 537 votes in Florida after the U.S. Supreme Court voted to stop ballot recounts in several counties. That gave Bush an Electoral College vote of 271 -- one more than necessary to win. It seems the country may have been hoping to avoid a legal stand-off this year, because 80 percent of respondents agreed with Kerry's decision to concede the election Wednesday afternoon. (Kerry calls for unity) The outcome remained in doubt overnight even though Bush was ahead in the popular vote by more than 3.7 million votes. He was short of winning the 270 votes needed in the Electoral College because the race in the battleground state of Ohio remained so close. Kerry had considered forgoing a concession speech until after all provisional ballots were counted, 11 days after the election. Sixty percent of respondents said Kerry was merely being a realist in making his decision to concede while 35 percent thought of him as a statesman. The group surveyed also had a distinct opinion on how Bush should lead now that he's won another four-year term. IP: Logged |

How many were surveyed? What party did those surveyed represent percentage wise? Unless a poll provides that kind of information the poll is useless. quote: Well, lucky for Michael Moore, he cashed in while he could!
Since when does a Republican object to anyone "cashing in?" Michael Moore will never cash in as much as Haliburton has.

I'm all in favor of keeping the bonehead Michael Moore around for at least 4 more years so he can contribute to the next Democrat Presidential election loss too. No amount of campaign advertising by Republicans could have cemented the image of the real radical Democrat party in the minds of voters as did that icon of the radical Democrat left. We are appropriately grateful IP: Logged |

Michael Moore has cashed in plenty. Certainly not as much as big corporations of course...but for one man he has cashed in plenty. http://www.amiannoying.com/(mjt0np45mghktd554u5qcn55)/view.aspx?ID=6128 Come on guys, Bush won fair and square this time. Last time? well he won the electorial and not the popular. I dont think he caused that though, I just think that was due to our messed up electoral college system. IP: Logged |
