11 Oct 2004 Battleground Poll Results Perplexing

In the newest Bush v. Kerry Battleground Poll, which no doubt will receive much publicity today, I noticed something odd that won’t be in many headlines.

Likely voters polled said Kerry would do better at “creating jobs,” but said Bush would do better at “keeping America prosperous.”

Maybe Battleground respondents were thinking of non-prosperous jobs and/or a prosperous economy without new jobs…?

Sometimes poll results make no sense at all.
