Your last statement is crucial .. FOX has been showing that number as 58 for Bush and 37 for Kerry - just on the WOT issue.

Battleground as of Oct 28th (pre Osama) has Bush 56 vs Kerry 36 on "Safeguarding America from a terrorist threat" and "Dealing with Iraq" it's Bush 55 vs Kerry 39! "Keeping America prosperous" they're in a dead head Bush 45 vs Kerry 47 (3% margin). Kerry only is above Bush on "Creating jobs" where he's managed a 10 point margin. "Is a strong leader" Bush 55 vs Kerry 39! "Shares your values" Bush 51 vs Kerry 43. Job approval 53 vs 45.

On name ID, Kerry is 52 vs 46 (Favorable / Unfavorable) and Bush is 55 vs 43. Telling to me is seeing Kerry has 32 Strongly Favorable vs 35 Strongly Unfavorable--yes that's 3% more Strongly Unfavorable than Strongly Favorable. Bush has 41 Strongly Favorable vs 33 Strongly Unfavorable.

People hate Kerry more than they hate Bush! Who would you vote for Bush 50 vs Kerry 45 with 5% undecided but when you say "Definitely vote for" it's Bush 46 vs Kerry 42.

Vote for a Dem or Pubbie in your district it's tied 44-44 which usually is good news for the GOP.
