Despite the negativity regarding these polls by the MSM these internal numbers show a different story. Bush increases his lead on Kerry in every aspect. Take a look!
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/polls/usatodaypolls.htm
Although it probably would not happen, all that needs to happen is Kerry get one 1% incrementally per week to 1% lost by Bush, and by election day they are dead even, 47%-47%. This thing is not over yet, by a longshot.
I noticed it - a striking number since Gallup measures job approval among "adults", not likely voters - heck, not even registered voters...
If Kerry's Iraq attacks were working, you'd expect Bush's job approval numbers to drop.
How is there negativity at all given the numbers?? 52-44% is reason for negativity?? 54-41% among REGISTERED voters??
Whaaa? Kerry LOST his lead on the economy question?!?!
That's huge! So is Bush's approval being at 54%.
Hey, you've got 49 other States you haven't voted in, plus DC and Guam!
62% approve of the way the President's handling terrorism!
Heheheh. Caught that, did you? Kerry can POSSIBLy drift into the low 30s by election day. As I suggested a couple of weeks ago, I think the Dems will go with him through 1-2 debates, and if he hasn't markedly improved, start yanking the money for the (now vulnerable) senate seats.
also have my wife's yet-to-be-voted ballot sitting right here on my desk, hmmmm.....
I agree. It's an important psychological milestone, but $2 gas today is a lot cheaper than $1 gas was when we reached it back in the late 1970's. Filling the tank in those days was a real serious crimp on the family budget, but most folks today will not notice the difference between $2 gas and $1.50 gas, unless they are truck drivers or traveling salesmen.

No negativity here. This is a tremendous poll.
The market is largely controlled by a cartel. How free can it be?
The price is not fixed by the cartel. The cartel fixes supply. Price is simply the equality of the supply provided and the demand.
If they fix a supply which raises the price too much, they risk losing their demand to alternate products.
