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.

An expectation isn't a reality. Jobs have been improving for 4 months. Bush's numbers haven't been. Clearly, there is no close time relationship between them. The obvious reason why is that news from Iraq dominates poll movements. I want Bush to win as much as anybody does. But mushy thinking does not help bring this about.
