"The big news has been on the "Bush lied" flurry of stories that may have gained a bit of traction. The last poll put out that mentioned illegal immigration had it about 6th in voter concerns. Who knows?"

WE know.

Let's face it. The only story in a in a cycle of a "flurry of stories" that could have affected these poll numbers was the President's ill-advised Amnesty Plan For Illegals.

This issue will NOT go away soon.

Well so you hope. This poll is not one of them though. 53% is just about right when event driven bounces such as Saddam are taken out. If Bush maintains that average for another year he will win big.

I agree. Notice he hasn't breathed a WORD of it lately, at least that I have heard.

IMHO, that has to be the most glaring political gaffe since Clinton said "I did not have sex with that woman."
