In a CBS News/New York Times poll out Sunday, President Bush has the support of 49 percent of likely voters to 46 percent for John Kerry.

Forty-nine percent of likely voters think Mr. Bush will win, to 33 percent who bet on Kerry. More voters see the president as strong, a man in tune with their priorities, someone who says what he thinks. Fifty-five percent approve of the president's handling of the war on terrorism....

Kerry can't breakthrough 46. For months now that has been his ceiling. He can't get to 50, no way, no how. Bush can. And there aren't enough college educated folks to change it. I just don't see how Kerry can win the popular vote.

Read the rest of the article at your own risk! cBS is in ultra-spin mode!

But this is good news. Last cBS poll has Bush at 44% approval, now it's 49%.

Anything from CBS favorable to Bush is good. Whats good to remember is that in all these polls, kerry at best is lucky to be tied with Bush. Only Bush has shown the ability to lead a poll by as much as 5 or more points. I don't think the election will be a runaway, but I do think Bush will prevail at a margin large enough to leave no doubt.

Three polls that came out today, had Kerry at 48%, or at least two.

It is good news. There is clearly movement in Bush's direction, and it pains the media to have to admit it. Just remember that as in football, political games are won on the ground - so get out there and work! And PUCK THE FUNDITS!

I would wish Bush were up 8 pts. But maybe this will turn out the base better, since everyone knows anything can happen. Funny how most of the tracking polls have ties, but the once-a-week polls have Bush with a small, clear lead. What say you pundits out there??

So, does anyone think so many new polls are showing prefect ties because the polling agencies have no idea who's ahead and don't want to be proven wrong come wednesday?
