And the best part about this poll is that it's on a Sunday which is usually a very weak day for Bush in Rasmussen's polling.
WE CANNOT COUNT OUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH ON ELECTION DAY.
That said,,,I am doing a little sort of jig,,
It does have the uncomfortable side effect of shrinking the bounce, which will probably officially start tomorrow.
There is no doubt we have the "MO" on our side right now - The media are spinning nightly trying to kill it - and I'm sure they are cosponsoring differing news items between the Networks (ABCNBCCBSMSNBCCNN) to try and offset any bounce for GWB next week -
The new SBVT ads that start to show Kerry's comments once coming home from Vietnam are going to hurt Kerry even more then the the first released ads out of the SBVT -
Kerry's comments and actions once he came home were much more harmful and look much worse for him - (the media screwed up drawing so much attention to the SBVT ads) -
With that said - now the GWB reelection team have to drive home the economy and WOT issues - Big time - They have to show with ads that continually scroll facts about how well our economy is doing - (over and over) -
The economy will still be the key issue in NOV -
And who knows maybe we get lucky and bag Al Zawahiri, Zarqawi or UBL before Nov as well (though, I'm not sure that will happen) -
Actually, I think ras has typically had Bush higher on weekends. To me, the only reliable # from Ras is JA, which is still 52%, meaning Bush wins. If that gets above 55%, watch for states like OR, MN, and NJ to slide into Bush's column, and if it gets any higher, CA is not out of the question.
