LEAD: Gov. Michael S. Dukakis held a 15-point lead over Vice President Bush in an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll released yesterday, largely on the strength of overwhelming support for Mr. Dukakis among women.
Gov. Michael S. Dukakis held a 15-point lead over Vice President Bush in an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll released yesterday, largely on the strength of overwhelming support for Mr. Dukakis among women.
Mr. Dukakis was supported by 49 percent of the registered voters in the poll, as against 34 percent for Mr. Bush, NBC News reported. Among men the split was 46 percent to 40 percent for Mr. Dukakis, but among women his margin was 52 percent to 28 percent.
The national survey of 2,014 adults was conducted June 9-12. Its result was similar to that of a Gallup poll, conducted June 10-12, that found a 14-point Dukakis lead. Two other polls early in June put the Massachusetts Governor's lead in single digits; others in May had Mr. Dukakis's lead as great as 16 points.
The margin of sampling error in the telephone survey was three percentage points.
The ''gender gap'' facing Mr. Bush also appeared in an ABC News-Washington Post poll last month, which suggested he trailed Mr. Dukakis narrowly among men but by a 2-to-1 margin among women. In another measure, the NBC-Journal poll yesterday found that only 38 percent of women said that Mr. Bush cares about people like them.
Poll respondents said by a 2-to-1 margin that it is time for the nation to change direction rather than follow the course set by President Reagan. And while 49 percent approved of the job Mr. Reagan has been doing as President, 39 percent disapproved
From 20 years ago, almost to the day.:howdy:

Great Find...the Kerry Polls were the same way too.
Manufactured by our "unbiased" media. :lol:
Ayuh....In 1988 the Republican BoogeyMan was a Black Homicidal Maniac running loose in your community
Lock up your daughters, Lock up your wives!!
In 2008, the new Republican BoogeyMan is a Kinda Black Bearded Mideastern Maniac set to detonate a nuke in your community
Take off your shoes please and place your shampoo bottles in the trash can to your left please.
For now, however, Obama is running much stronger at this point in the race than his two most recent Democratic predecessors, Sen. John Kerry and Vice President Al Gore, who both failed in their bids to win the White House. In a July 2004 NEWSWEEK Poll, Kerry led Bush by only 6 points (51 percent to 45 percent). In June 2000, Gore was in a dead heat with Bush (45 percent to 45 percent)—which is essentially where he ended up when that razor-thin election was finally decided.
Isn't this like clockwork knowing the righty's are digging at the bottom of the barrell? You knew they'd come with this. Lets dig into this a little further.
- Michael Dukakis was running against a 3rd Reagan term e.g. incumbant VP George Bush.
- Dukakis campaign was no where near a campaign as massive and as organized as Barack Obama's. We won't even start with the money raised.
- The approval rating of the incumbent party today is for shit unlike the status of president Reagan's administration back in the 80's.
Please come with substance next time.
a best bud who was a Weatherman????
Mr. Ayers is listed as a member of the nine-member board of the Woods Fund of Chicago, an offshoot of the Woods Charitable Fund, founded in 1941 by a prominent lawyer and telephone company executive. According to the fund's Web site, it has focused in recent years on "issues that affected the area's least advantaged, including welfare reform, affordable housing" and "tax policy as a tool in reducing poverty."
For a time, Mr. Obama was on the board with Mr. Ayers, though he no longer has a formal association with the group. At the debate, he described Mr. Ayers as "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," but "not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis." Mr. Obama said he was being unjustly linked to "somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old."

Doocy: And in fact there’s going to be a real choice because we’ve looked at the studies which suggest that Barack Obama could be the most liberal Senator, in the US Senate, and meanwhile while John McCain—more in the middle. Would you have a guy to the right or more in the middle?
Doocey screws up his question, but that’s OK. You’ll see phrases like “could be” and “it’s quite possible” and “suggest that” he’s the most liberal Senator in Congress. The only study I’ve seen is the very flawed National Journal one so I wonder Steve will reveal what other studies he has. Is it so hard for the media to tell the simple truth about his voting record. Here’s Howie..
If only! Actually there are 39 Democrats with more liberal voting records, although Obama does at least beat perennial Bush rubber stamps Holy Joe Lieberman (CT), Ben Nelson (NE) and Mary Landrieu (LA). His voting record– however you slice it, however you dice it– points to a solidly mainstream centrist– and, to be honest, considerably less liberal than… sssshhhhhhh… Hillary.
So how do CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC all allow the paid GOP shills to get away with their Big Lie? Good question. There’s oneNational Journal “study” that these clowns keep referring to cooked up – yes the same cloddish National Journal that criticized its own ranking of John Kerry as “the most liberal senator” in 2004...read on
