Woe is us! There's no hope for President Bush. [sob]

He's losing his conservative base!

They're abandoning him in droves!! [wailing, gnashing of teeth]

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go scrape off my Bush/Cheney bumper sticker and cover myself in ashes.

"Despite all the bad news out of Iraq, President Bush is threatening to make a horse race out of New Jersey, a state everyone had put in the 'safe' column for John Kerry," said Clay Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

No, not all of us. :-)

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.
