Open Thread

Posted by DavidNYC

I may or may not get to post again before Friday night or Saturday morning. So here's a new open thread for you, fresh out of the oven. More polls than you can shake a stick at here, including one which shows Maine's 2nd CD going to Bush. I am sure all the polling geeks here (I include myself, of course) will love that one.

I haven't seen any Wisconsin numbers lately. We need to get back into that race.

Zogby has Kerry up 50.6% to 48.1% in WI in his poll dated 9/30-10/5. I wouldn't trust the Zogby poll though.

New CNN/Gallup numbers show Bush and Kerry tied at 49% each among likely voters in Colorado, and tied at 48% among registered voters. Nader gets 1% and 2%, respectively. But since Gallup's methods are questionable, take those numbers for what their worth.

It looks like terrorists just hit Egypt. There was a blast at the Hilton in Egypt���s Taba resort near Israel.

Ammo for tonight's debate:

A) Jobs recession continues. If is looking more and more like Bush will be the first occupier of the White House since Hoover to see net jobs decrease. 96,000 jobs added in September which was weaker than the expected 148,000 jobs. August was revised down from 144,000 to 128,000. All total the report was 68,000 fewer jobs than expected.

Since Bush took office 585,000 jobs have been lost. The unemployment rate has risen from 4.0% to 5.4%.

B) Oil hits record high of $53 a barrel.
