A LANDSLIDE!!!

Newsflash: Most likely US voters have a brain.

The DemonCrap candidates want to hand US soverignty to the UN and then hire the French to open a surrender school.

Somewhere, somebody is deeply saddened.

...The margin of error is +/-2.7% points for registered voters, and +/-4.7% for Democratic voters...

Looks like democrat voters are still being disenfranchised or the pollsters used punch-card ballots...

But...but..every night Chris Matthews says he is going to lose.

[finnman69]

BWAHAHAHAHAH!

The nuts will start rethinking Dean after these polls keeep showing Dean losing bigger than the others.

Democrats don't rely on registered voters to win elections. It is a meaningless poll as far as the Democrats are concerned.

I have to ask - is Bush really that great a president??? I will concede that he is much better than Gore or the currant group of Dem contenders, but.....

1) If non-discretionary spending remained flat, our country will be in a world of hurt by 2015 without a major overhaul of our entitlement programs.

2) Non-discretionary spending for the last 2 years has gone up 27%!!!!!! The majority of this increase has nothing to do with national security.

3) Another HUGE entitlement program is about to go into law.

4) No conservative/constitutionalist judges have been able to get confirmed (this is the real key to the little guy keeping gov't of their back).

From my perspective, who needs democrats with the current crowd running things.

Flame away.

Wait until the moderates find out how insane Clark is and who really controls him:

Go Bush go!

I find it very interesting that when polls ask people if they are going to vote for Bush in 04 the majority say no by a narrow margin. But when these polls put Bush up against a specific Democratic candidate Bush wins easily. Why do you think that is?

Obviously its time for a push poll, W is doing too well. How about " What would you rather have happen, George W. Bush re-elected or a cure for cancer developed?"

And for Reuters' spin:

Poll Says U.S. Voters Evenly Split on Bush
Sun Nov 23, 6:31 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A year before the next presidential election, voters in the United States are about where they were in 2000 on the question of President Bush (news - web sites) -- split down the middle -- according to a new poll by Time magazine and CNN.

The poll showed that 47 percent were somewhat likely or very likely to vote to re-elect Bush and 48 percent were somewhat unlikely or very unlikely to do so.

Bush's overall job approval rating was at 52 percent, according to the poll, down from its peak of 89 percent in October 2001, just after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. His disapproval rating reached a new high, at 43 percent, the poll said.

Even with rising disapproval ratings, Bush still would defeat any of his possible Democratic opponents if the election was held this year. The poll of 1,507 people, conducted Nov. 18-19, had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

The Democrat who would give Bush the toughest run for re-election would be retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark (news - web sites), according to the survey's results. Even so, Bush would defeat Clark 49 percent to 42 percent, according to the poll.

Bush would best former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (news - web sites), the Democratic who has raised the most campaign money to challenge the president, by 59 percent to 39 percent of those polled.

Bush's handling of the U.S. economy and post-war Iraq (news - web sites) are expected to be the two hottest issues of the 2004 presidential campaign.
