"Other survey data released today shows that just 21% of Americans believe the United Nations is our ally in the War on Terror. Public assessment of France is even bleaker."

But these are Kerrys Allies!

...new polling data from Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin (at 3PM today).

These poll results are going to be interesting. And yes, polls are starting to matter now as we approach Labor Day weekend - the true kickoff of the campaign season.

I'm especially interested in seeing Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These are states that have been in the Kerry column all summer but I think they are very winnable by Bush. Yes, New Jersey. It will be interesting to see North Carolina too - Bush should be padding his lead there, all but eliminating Pretty Boy Edwards as a factor in this race.

Courage, why do your EV totals never add up to 538?

[Republic Rocker]

MOJO!

can't wait for tonight and also the new polling....although remember a slight shift in sampling would give better results for GW at this time and the pollsters may be playing with us so to show little bounce for Bush which would make great fighting news for the lefties and the media.......

The LA TIMES poll is a good example......Bush trailing for months yet one week before convention he is up....this staels the thunder of the GW BOUNCE story....

Courage - The "MO" is starting to go our way a little -

The Premise on the economy is still KEY - The GWB team needs to start getting ads on the economy out - Ads that just scroll over and over facts showing how our economy is booming - (I still believe the economy premise will decide the election) -

This is very good news the past few weeks - Kerry hasn't connected with the American public (this was a windfall for the GWB team...had Kerry connected...like Clinton did in 1992, we could have been in real trouble) -

But now since Kerry didn't connect the GWB team needs to hit a home-run on the economy issue and we are golden come Nov -

Not to mention the possibility that we bring in Al Zawahiri, Zarqawi or UBL before NOV as well -

[COURAGE]

Because of tossups.

Here's the daily hoot from DU.Armstead

Why is it the worse Bush gets the more popular he gets?

The Swifty Boat smear was horrible. Bush's speeches are moving into his crazed bully boy mode. Iraq's going downhill. The economy shows terrible statistics.

You'd think with all of that and more, Bush would be plummeting. Instead he is on an upswing.

I am bewildered. It seems the worse Bush gets and the more he wrecks the country, the more people like it.

Is this my imagination? I hope so.

Armstead

I'm afraid poor Armstead is terminally confused.
