1. Every time Kerry gets the smallest amount of air time

His numbers go up. I really think he is wise to hold back now while * keeps going up five stairs and down ten.

[West Coast Democrat]

2. And Bush at 46% Approval

looks like the attacking has backfired

8. That's because Kerry counter attacked and the cockroaches ran

for cover. That's what happens when we put a floodlight on their sorry arse lies.

11. Conservatives are sinking to new lows in attacks on Kerry

because they cannot push him far enough behind Bush in the polls in order to be certain of a Bush victory. They are now claiming that Al Qaeda is supporting Kerry in order to push that warrior of truth and light, George W. Bush, gods annointed leader in the holy war against terrorism, the shining crusader against the Mohametan and Saracen, off of his throne.

Sen. John Kerry's increasingly shrill challenge of President Bush is grinding down the image of the United States abroad and playing directly into the hands of anti-U.S. extremists.

Exploiting the liberties of free societies, terrorists are using the mass media to sow divisions among and within the democracies, terrorism experts report.

The March bombing of the Madrid subway proved that low-budget terrorist attacks could be used to influence democratic elections and, by virtue of Spain's sudden military withdrawal from Iraq, to drive wedges between the staunchest allies in the international antiterrorism coalition.

Senior Spanish and U.S. officials now believe al-Qaida will plan more attacks in the United States to try to force President Bush from

Sheer desperation, dont you think?

The attacks on his military record and political record have not worked, so now he they portray Kerry as the unwitting dupe being used by the perpetrators of 9/11 in order to remove the only threat to the worldwide domination of fundamentalist Islam.

I expected it to happen, but not this early. They have run out of everything they can attack Kerry on, so now they play the last card.

Poll: Growing Doubts On Iraq

NEW YORK, April 28, 2004<snip>The struggles in Iraq appear to have hurt assessments of the President. His overall approval rating (46 percent - 47% disapprove), his rating on handling Iraq (41 percent), and his rating on handling foreign policy (40 percent) are at the lowest points ever in this Administration. In each case, more disapprove than approve. 53 percent of voters are uneasy about Bush’s handling of international crisis, figures unmatched since before 9/11. But these declines come as Americans see economic improvement -- 55 percent now say the economy is in good shape.

Bush’s Democratic opponent, John Kerry, also has weaknesses. The President is far more likely than Kerry to be viewed as saying what he really believes. Bush holds an edge over Kerry on moral values, vision, and likeability. But voters view each candidate more negatively than positively, and when asked whom they’d support if the November election were held today (though it is still six months in the future) they divide almost evenly: Kerry 46 percent, Bush 44 percent. Should Ralph Nader join the race, it becomes Bush 43 percent, Kerry 41 percent, and Nader 5 percent. <snip>

Americans are now evenly divided on whether to call the war a mistake. 48 percent say it was a mistake to get involved in Iraq, and 46 percent say it was not a mistake. This, too, is a large shift from one year ago: in April of 2003 only 24 percent of Americans thought getting involved in Iraq was a mistake. Americans' current assessment of whether Iraq was a mistake is similar to views of the Vietnam conflict as measured in a Gallup Poll of April 1968, when 48 percent of Americans then said that getting involved in Vietnam was a mistake. <snip>

Even though Americans may be more optimistic about the economy, the public continues to think the country is headed in the wrong direction. More than half -- 55 percent -- think things in this country have gotten off on the wrong track, while 36 percent say things are headed in the right direction. A year ago, Americans said the country was headed in the right direction. <snip>

4. Nader is NOT going to get 5%.

I predict he'll get 0.5%. He's not even going to be on most of the ballots for god's sake. Plus, the negative publicity about him is all over the Web and even on mainstream cable t.v.. Folks who normally vote Nader are Internet wired. Nader won't pull another fast one, imho.

[59millionmorons]

5. Hell, he only got 2% in 2000

[MoonRiver]

7. More than anything else

these glorified Nader numbers make me suspicious of corporate media polls.

[ACK]

6. I hope this continues

I was just part of zogby poll so maybe it will. :-)

[tritsofme]

9. Nader gets 5% because poll was of "National Adults"

I don't know why this type of polls are even conducted, if for no other reason that to give the pundits something to talk about.

Polls of "likely voters" are much more reliable.
