"Any individual poll this far are dosn't mean too much. But, the trend in this series of polls is very disturbing. The question is - what will change the trend?"

Actually, the "trends" reflected in the Zogby poll (4/1-4/04) and today's FoxNews/Opinion Dynamics poll are QUITE ENCOURAGING -- both polls show NO CHANGE in the President's standing despite unparalleled attacks from the left in the form of Clarke's historical revisionism and Kennedy et al's 'Vietnamization' of Iraq -- we couldn't ask for anything more at this point!!!!

[BTW: The FoxNews poll indicates that 92% of Republicans -- statistical unanimity -- continue to support the President. That's all we need at this point. The 5-7% of the voting public who are genuinely 'undecided' will not make-up their minds until October!]

"...both polls show NO CHANGE in the President's standing despite unparalleled attacks from the left..."

I was referring to the longer run trend 12/02 - 4/6 which shows Bush going from 57% to 43%. That is the trend that caught my attention. Nothing Clarke has done/said could move the numbers that much - especially since the trend was in place long before he opened his yap. It's also worth noting that Kerry has gone from 29% to 44% over the same time.
