Don't compare Rasmussen with polls that are a week old. A week is a lifetime. Rasmussen is daily. Time showed some closure in the gap too. The closure is real. They have out-registered us. We have about a week to make that up, and thereafter we have to do a better job of GOTV.

Do not think this is over. It's not. The opposition is intent. Think about what they are fighting for. They all are seeing White House staff jobs on their resumes and a lifetime of lucrative lobby work. They Won't Give Up. They have too much to gain.

No one is stating that they will 'give up'
However I am not going to give credit to a poll that says Bush is even with Kerry when the state polls show otherwise.
Which of Bush's States are in danger of falling to Kerry?
Registration is not the issue-voting is.
Polls in Ohio show double digit leads
Polls in Florida about 6-9 points
Now, all I've seen lately is Kerry campaign conceding on States like VA, Ark, Tenn, and a few more. (what candidate has ever won the presidency without winning a southern state (beside Lincoln?)
I've seen Bush making headway in Kerry states of NJ, WI, Maryland (!)
There is danger in overconfidence and there is danger in defeatism also.
You can underestimate your foe and you can overestimate him also, both can lead to defeat.
One further point, you might have missed the article that stated that for the first time Republicans outnumber Democrats in registration.
