A polling rematch of the 2004 Presidential Election shows that John Kerry leads George W. Bush 48% to 41% (see crosstabs). In the real election, Kerry never held a lead that big in any of the nightly polls we conducted from January 2 through Election Day.
This latest poll is another indication of how much support has fallen for the President since his re-election. The number of voters who call themselves Republicans is also down since Election Day 2004.
President Bush is still trusted by a few more voters than Kerry on the National Security issue. However, the President's advantage is much smaller than it was during the election season--44% now trust the President more while 41% opt for Kerry.
A separate survey found that just 30% of Americans give the President good or excellent marks for handling the situation in Iraq.
Kerry has a narrow edge on economic issues--45% to 40%.
On immigration, 43% trust the President more while 40% prefer Kerry.
Rasmussen Reports is an electronic publishing firm specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information.
Rasmussen Reports was the nation's most accurate polling firm during the Presidential election and the only one to project both Bush and Kerry's vote total within half a percentage point of the actual outcome.
During Election 2004, RasmussenReports.com was also the top-ranked public opinion research site on the web. We had twice as many visitors as our nearest competitor and nearly as many as all competitors combined.

So folks, you see it here, Kerry must now be the President. Bush should go back to Crawford, hat in hand, head down. / sarcasm
Can you believe this? I wanted a poll in 1994 on whether folks would voted for Clinton. If you remember, Clinton wasn't doing so good in 1994 but nobody thought about repolling his election. We had an election in 1994 that gave Congress to the party that Clinton didn't belong to, but that was just angry, crank, mean ol' conservatives hs\aving a tantrum.
Whoops, screwed up the formating. Underlining is supposed to end after "end quote".
LOL, polls are just more evidence that Americans are ignorant on most subjects.
