Once was not enough!
Many adults in the United States retain their political allegiances four months after the last presidential ballot, according to a poll by Zogby International. 46 per cent of respondents would vote for Republican George W. Bush in a new election, while 42 per cent would support Democratic nominee John Kerry.
Polling Data
If the 2004 presidential election took place again, who would you vote for?
46% George W. Bush (R)
42% John Kerry (D)
7% A third party candidate
As Chrissie would say... La la la...
This is interesting when you consider that U.S. media coverage of last year's election was three times more likely to be negative toward President Bush than Democratic challenger John Kerry, according to a study released Monday.
Yep. According to the Project for Excellence in Journalism, 36 percent of stories about Bush were negative compared to 12 percent about Kerry, a Massachusetts senator. Only 20 percent were positive toward Bush compared to 30 percent of stories about Kerry that were positive, according to the report by the Project for Excellence in Journalism.
The study looked at 16 newspapers of varying size across the country, four nightly newscasts, three network morning news shows, nine cable programs and nine Web sites through the course of 2004.
Kerry still lost and he would lose again.
