Kerry's attack strategy of hitting Bush on his strengths (WOT, Iraq) may be working.

It is going to be close unless EVERYBODY who loves America gets out and votes to re-elect W.

Bring your friends and relatives along. Celebrate the 4th of July in November.

Fly the flag.

Rasmussen has no credibility after the debacle in 2000. The more accurate numbers would be to look at the individual state polls. If Dubya keeps all the states he won in 2000 (which looks like it will happen) and picks off WS (~+9 for W), IA (~+4 for W), and maybe PA (~TIE), then everything else is irrelevant. Also, W is closing in states like NJ, MD, NY, and even CA. All signs point to L A N D S L I D E. This election is starting to look like 1972 all over again.

Nonsense.
Nothing Kerry is doing is effecting the polls.
He is backing out of key states and defending his own.
Pollsters are now going to try to show that Kerry has 'momentum' but watch which states he is spending money in.
They tried to say the same thing in 1994 when the Democrats refused to believe they were on the verge of a meltdown.
After a couple weeks, the Polls will reveal what the campaign spending is revealing that Kerry is a meltdown and the Democratic party is avoiding going down with him.

Media tried to refocus on Bush's NG record.

Now Media is back in "woe-is-me" mode in Iraq.

Rasmussen is out of whack from other polls, that show Bush ahead by 5-8 points.

How is going more to the left helping Kerry and hurting Bush?

It hasn't worked in decades and it won't help the French One now.

Bush slips 1%, which is noise . . . but there is now reason to believe the gap has closed some.

Evidence? If you average the national polls together, they give Bush a lead of about six or seven points. The EC map confirms this.

Is Rassmusen the poll that George Soros is paying for?

News last week said that Soros was going to buy Kerry his own poll.

Since Rasmussen has always been a left-leaning poll, I suspect it's been tampered with.

First of all Rasmussen is very Dem leaning... Second there may be some shift due to the Draft fear that the Dems have started with the young voters.... However, that draft fear is going to backfire on them big time once the headlines about the 14 Democrats that sponsored the draft bill comes out in Main Stream Media outlets... I know a reporter tried to ask Kerry about the draft comments he made the other day but Kerry did not answer... Once this gets out and the youth hear how the President enjoys the volunteer military at its highest recruitment levels and how much the military hate Kerry that they will all be getting out under a Kerry administation that end strength would be impossible to maintain for a President that doesn't have the guts to fight terror and calls America's efforts in Iraq wrong... Kerry will have to implement the draft if he was to win...

Don't believe ras or zogby.
Follow the money, Bush must be up 5%.
I don't think this will be a blowout but we will win short of a major blunder.
The first debate should decide the matter.

the Rasmussen poll is garbage. It consistently fails to capture any momentum for either candidate, Kerry in July Bush since Aug. Why are you taking it seriously?

if it was truly 47-46, Kerry would still be in MO running ads. MO wil lbe 2-3 points more GOP than the national result. Thus Kerry would still have a shot there.

Hey I believe you Mr. Rasmussen, but I have one question:
Would you please show me a single state in a single continuing poll that shows frenchie gaining? Oh you can't well what do you think of that?
