Political Wire got an advance look at the new Los Angeles Times poll showing President Bush "moving slightly" ahead of Sen. John Kerry "for the first time this year." Bush had the support of 49% of registered voters, compared to 46% for Kerry.
The newspaper's analysis indicates Kerry "has been nicked by attacks on his service in Vietnam."
The "small shift" from last month's poll "is within the poll's margin of error. But it fits with other findings in the Times Poll showing the electorate edging toward Bush over the past month on a broad range of measures, from support for his handling of Iraq to confidence in his leadership and honesty."
Independent voters split evenly, but Bush's "tentative new advantage" seems to be "his greater success at onsolidating his base. While just 3% of voters who call themselves Republicans say they will vote for Kerry, Bush is drawing 15% just over one-seventh of all Democrats, and fully one-fifth 20% of Democrats who consider themselves moderate or conservative, the poll found."

Happy, happy. Joy. joy. Kerry's arrogrance is catching up with him.

If Kerry was ahead by 3 it would have been a Ttectonic" "Tsunami-esque" lead.

Let me be the first to say, "this poll is a piece of crap from a worthless rag". But I still prefer to see Bush ahead no matter who says it.

Kerry is in big trouble. That's why the liberal press lemmings are in full-froth mode over the ads.

"Kerry "has been nicked by attacks on his service in Vietnam.""
That's funny, because he was only nicked during his service in Vietnam too.

This is a poll of REGISTERED VOTERS. You can only imagine how much Bush is ahead with LIKELY voters. And this in the Leftist Los Angeles Times! The news just keeps getting better and the Convention hasn't been held yet.

The attacks have certainly been effective. I wonder if today's news about O'Neill telling Nixon that he was in Cambodia will have any effect on this trend?
To: ambrose
Heck, he might demand another Purple Heart.
