Very interesting article. This is the first election and presidency that I have been so devout about watching polls. I became consumed during the endless wait over the November 2000 election outcome and the fever has never relented. I am by President Bush like I am by my Duke Blue Devils, I want to be ahead a whole lot all of the time.

Good article, from Barna Group. Thanks, DrDeb.

This nation, this world, human civilization for the last century, is indeed involved in great struggle, between the faithful, and the secularists. Somehow I don't find it surprising that faith, not party affiliation or other demographics, is the factor that best predicts one's choice in this election.

One paragraphy, towards the end of that article, is worth highlighting here:

The research pointed out one particular caution for the President's campaign. "Getting his supporters to actually turnout on Election Day will be critical for Mr. Bush.

Vote !!
