The latest NY Times/CBS poll has President Bush up by 48-45. The "internals" of the poll provide even worse news for John Kerry. For example,
John Kerry has a 41% favorable, 47% unfavorable rating. This is his worst rating ever. President Bush has a 48% favorable, 41% unfavorable rating. That is his best rating since last December.
Undecided voters lean to President Bush 50%-47%, validating the Pew finding and calling the Gallup number into question.
66% of Bush voters strongly favor their candidate.
50% of Kerry voters strongly favor their candidate.
By a 49%-34% margin, voters expect President Bush to win.
53% of voters do not think that Kerry agrees with their priorities, his worst number ever. 42% believe he has the same.
48% of voters do not think that Bush agrees with their priorities. 49% believe he does share their priorities.
52% of voters think Kerry has leadership qualities, his lowest number ever.
62% of voters think President Bush has leadership qualities.
57% of voters are uneasy with Kerry’s ability to handle a crisis.
If Kerry wins with numbers like these, voters will have a serious and instantaneous case of buyer's remorse.

UPDATE: Crush Kerry points out that, in the CBS/New York Times poll, 35 percent of those sampled were Democrats and 30 percent were Republicans. The last two polls from this organization used the same sample weights and showed the race tied. So it's not like the enemy wants to provide us with good news.
And the ratio leans to Dems 35% to Republicans' 30%??? Wow.
I love to see numbers like these from the Old Gay Lady and C-BS. It tells me that they must see the writing on the wall and are trying to run around and get out in front of the crowd so they can save some cred. Don't think it's gonna work. Kerry going on a "Last 24 Hour Blitzkreig" doesn't bode well either. Soon perhaps we will hear the only words we really want to hear from the Dork -- "I concede." Unfortunately I don't know how likely that is no matter how much we win by.
Go vote .... get your friends and family off their butts and vote often and vote early..hahahaha
