States will follow national polls. I don't believe Newsweek though.
Other polls will follow Newsweek. I am very concerned. Even Bush supporters know how badly he botched that debate. He let Kerry walk all over him and all he basically said was tough job, tough job. 55 million people saw it, it is no wonder that the polls would reflect that. Bush needs to now pull himself out of this mess he created with that wretched performance. All is not lost but the "easy victory" is gone.
