The pundits and commentators were all saying "expect a bounce for Bush" due to the week long love fest for Ronald Reagan. But, fresh polls seem to indicate that the guy getting a bounce is democrat John Kerry. ABC-News shows Kerry expanding his lead and even Fox's favorite poll--Rasmussen gives Kerry a three point edge. So what goes on here? Could it be that when contrasted with Reagan's Sunny disposition and "Morning in America" rhetoric--the chimp just doesn't measure up?
My guess is that there is a fresh issue on the table and the Democrats need to exploit it for all its worth--and that is the cost of living--INFLATION--the thing which sunk Carter in 1980. People are talking not only about the high gas prices but the cost of groceries and this affects everyone.
