If you adjust the Newsweek Poll to reflect the same percentages as the 2000 election (38D/35R/27I), using the raw data, Bush would be at 50%, Skerry at 43%... So, it's a 7 point gap, not an 11 point gap... Still solid, especially since most of it came before Bush's speech. One item to note, though... If Ras is right, then a good number of people were turned off by Bush's speech... There wasn't a whole lot that was new, and Mon-Wed, we were exposed to GOP stars... It's just possible that people saw Bush again, and thought back to everything they've heard about him the past year (various 527s, Kennedy, Dem candidates) and many of those lies have stuck... Unlikely, but possible.

Agree - GWB looks to be up around 5 to 7 pts -

And I can't agree with the notion that people were turned off by the GWB speech - He was wonderful...and the more people see GWB.....the more they like him - (happens everytime he puts himself in front of the public) -

Agree - GWB looks to be up around 5 to 7 pts -

Paranoid? There you go again. Repeating that sophistry. You have NO basis for that claim. You've already been soundly debunked but you think that if you repeat a lie enough people will believe it. Please STOP repeating those lies. There is simply no basis for that claim. WAIT for more polling data - in particular Gallups results.
