Well, I like the news in the article, but in your graphic I see a 23 point slide for Bush among independents in the past year. With a strong economy and increased job growth recently. That isn't good, and Iraq and media coverage of it are clearly responsible.

It's not all about Iraq. The media have been lying about the economy and have a large percentage convinced we're still in recession. That lie is starting to unravel since the truth about the economy is now so good. So, I expect the indy numbers to stabilize and begin to pickup in the near future.

So? Independents are least likely to vote. Bush is running very strong among his base, and his base is more motivated than Kerry's. And he's raised over $200 million from over one million contributors.
