Yup!
Don't you mean NewsTweak?
the MSM needs a horse race. and if there isn't one, they will manufacture it.
Here's today's ray of hope!
Here is my link . Where is your link. These are the numbers I have for last Newsweek. 5-6pnt lead.

I don't put much faith in polls. I guess there are a few fencesetters that jump side to side, but I am not one of them. I was for President Bush before the debate and I will be for President Bush after the debates. I figure the Kerry people feel the same way. Besides President Bush did very well in the debate, so why should Kerry be catching up?
Sorry about the repetitive post, but this is Newsweek creating news. Check Rasmussen. Says Bush lead still looks good.
"hope this is wrong."
It is.
Good to see consistancy with 'courage'
Sure it did. Just like the Newsweek Poll in 200 showed Gore up 15 points after the Democratic Convention.
See this?
If this is victory, it sure is going to be ugly when Kerry loses a debate.

Kerry Wins? Maybe Not.
The conventional wisdom is that John Kerry "won" the debate. We certainly agree that he performed well. In contrast with his hapless recent efforts at the convention and on the stump, he came across as poised, confident and even reasonably disciplined verbally. And he toned down the defeatism on Iraq.
But in a postdebate Gallup poll, although a majority (53%) thought Kerry "did a better job in the debate" than Bush (37%), the results of more specific questions look better for the president:
Kerry Bush
Expressed himself more clearly 60% 32%
Had a good understanding of the issues 41% 41%
Agreed with you more on the issues you care about 46% 49%
Was more believable 45% 50%
Was more likable 41% 48%
Demonstrated he is tough enough for the job 37% 54%
It may turn out that Kerry impressed voters with his skills as a debater--looking "almost senatorial," as ScrappleFace.com puts it-- but fell short of persuading them that he'd be a better president than the incumbent.
The same place all the other enemy propgandists do.
Post first presidential debate polls in 2000 showed Al Gore leading George W. Bush by a range of percentage points from 3% to 12%.
Make no mistake about it, a vote for Kerry is a vote for the terrorists.
Newsweek!? I don't believe it.
It could be a deliberate MSM attempt to give a bounce to Kerry.
If I remember correctly, Newsweak was oversampling Republicans in their polls since the RNC. Many predicted they would then go back to their usual oversampling of Democrats in order to claim "Kerry is surging" or that "Kerry is the comeback kid".
That was on 9-4. the last one was on 9-10. Still not good though.
hate to say it but you could be right.
no incumbent leding the last week of Seotember has ever lost. And I dont think any incumbent who was leading ever lost because of debates.
This makes me sick!!!! Lord, Bush just HAS to win!!!
LOL, well said. They get to have their fantasy for a few more days.
Democracy Corps Poll has Bush up by two points.
