Whining Lefties Take Note: Poll Suggests Kerry Remains Undefined (AP)
Advertisements [?]
The National Annenberg Election Survey found that potential swing voters in the battleground states have not yet decided how they feel about Kerry. A fourth see him favorably and a fourth see him unfavorably, while almost four in 10, 38 percent, remain neutral about him.

Public opinion about Bush was more settled among the persuadable group, with people about evenly split but only one in five having a neutral view of the president.

(NOTE: That's "only" 20% - which what everyone talks about as the "swing" voters.)

Because Kerry must pass the presidential threshold with potential voters, "in large part, this is an election about Kerry," she said.

"Kerry hasn't passed the threshold yet to be perceived as a president," Jamieson said. "If he passes it, George Bush is in serious trouble."

On Iraq, a majority of those considered persuadable was more inclined to want to bring U.S. troops home as soon as possible. The overall public was split on that question.

So much for those millions the diabolical Karl Rove spent on defining Kerry early. Why do we consider this guy a genius again?



Let's actually learn a lesson about all those folks on DU running around every two seconds talking about what a lousy campaign Kerry is running. The man has an impeccable sense of political timing, and survived doomsaying from alot more saavy people than we.
