11/02/2004: "Zogby trends: no help."

I recall hearing on Sean Hannity's radio show (from Zogby, I nopw believe) that trands matter; clear trends emerge in the 10 days leading to the election.

So I formatted Zogby's tracking polls to highlight trends in the 10 states Zogby is tracking.

Few trends have emerged:

State	EVs	"Trend"
CO	9	Bumpy Bush trend
FL	27	Bumpy Kerry trend; late Bush push
IA	7	Bumpy Kerry trend
MI	17	Kerry to start and end; Bush in the middle
MN	10	Kerry to start and end; Bush in the middle
NM	5	All Bush until 10/31; late Kerry trend
NV	5	All Bush
OH	20	Bush to start and end; Kerry in the middle
PA	21	All Kerry
WI	10	Bush trend

These uncertain trends make it too close to call. Plus, this is Zogby only. That said, things do not look good for Bush.
