A couple statistics stand out to me.
According to Gallup’s mega-final-ultra poll out Sunday evening, 30% of registered voters in Florida have already voted, either through early voting or by absentee. Of those who have already voted, Kerry leads President Bush 51% to 43%.
According to the Des Moines Register poll out late Saturday evening, 27% of Iowa adults have already voted. And among those Kerry leads 52% to 41%.
Both numbers seem good for Kerry — though they may mean a lot of different things.
But, as long as we’re asking questions, if these are people who’ve already voted, shouldn’t the number add up to 100% or close to it? Are the remainder folks who wouldn’t answer? Or have they already voted but moved back into the undecided column? Or they’ve forgotten? Someone help me with this …
