what does this mean for Bush? 58 percent say they want major changes, compared with only 9 percent who say they want his second term to look a lot like his first term.

Hi there. Welcome to FReeRepublic.
it means he needs to cut the spending, win the war on Terrorism and become the conservative he is claiming, but so far as yet, been unable to show....
Interesting first post...
I think it means that you're not fooling anybody around here.
At his convention he talked about alot of reforms
it means one too many polls
ZOT?
What do YOU think it means? Just curious, in a cynical way.
countdown starting...
From the article
"Although Kerry narrowly trails Bush in this poll, the survey also has some discouraging findings for the Democratic candidate. For example, he has just a 48-45 percent lead among women voters. By comparison, exit polls from 2000 show that that Al Gore won the women's vote 54-43. And the reason behind this shift, it seems, can be attributed to the war on terror. In the poll, when asked what set of issues is more important, 44 percent of respondents said terrorism, social issues and values, while another 44 percent said the economy and health care. Among women, though, 45 percent cited the economy and health care, while a surprisingly large 42 percent said terrorism and values.
Another troubling sign for the Kerry campaign is that most voters don't know what its message is. Fifty-four percent of respondents say that the campaign doesn't have a message, or that they don't know what a Kerry-Edwards team would do if elected. That's compared with just 36 percent who believe the campaign has a message. On the other hand, 68 percent say the Bush campaign has a message, while just 23 percent think it doesn't."
It means Bush is still ahead and Kerry is still behind.
I am new here and was wanting to join in
I don't think it is necessarily bad for Bush
I think most people want change even in the same person
I want major changes (less spending), but I would never vote for John Kerry.
It means Kennedy is gonna go on a diet and you are gonna get zotted!
I agree
John!!!!!! Why are you spending your time trolling on FR when you should be out campaigning? Are you sure you aren't missing an Intelligence briefing right about now?
not sure what zotted means as I am new here and did not mean this post as a negative to Bush
was honestly curious to the history of this type poll for incumbents
As transparent as Sharon Stone's panties.
