>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/17/04 7:51 AM >>> Nader is now "drawing 7 percent of the votes" in a "nationwide telephone poll of 1,206 adults, including 984 registered voters . . . taken from last Wednesday through Sunday" (Adam Nagourney and Janet Elder, "Nation's Direction Prompts Voters' Concern, Poll Finds," March 16, 2004, <http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/16/politics/campaign/16POLL.html>). Cf. <http://pollingreport.com/>. And that despite the relentless attacks of the Anybody But Bush pundits on Nader and Greens. I detect a major disconnect between the ABB pundits and ordinary American voters. Yoshie <<<<<>>>>>
one interpretation of above would be that he's already maxed out, tracking poll numbers tend to fall sharply for minor candidates during course of campaign... nader topped out at 7% in 2000 and that was prior to announcing candidacy when there was 'run ralph run' stuff going on, that circumstance is not unusual, potential candidates often look more promising as, well, potential candidates (will s/he, won't s/he)... nader was actually at 5% in some national polls within days of 2000 election, however, majority of people supporting him said that their vote was not definite... michael hoover
