It shows Newsweek poll agreeing with Time, CNN/Gallop and ABC over the past month when all showed Bush with a solid lead.

I don't believe that is correct. As I remember, most polls had Bush up 6 - 8% over the past month, Newsweek/Princeton went from a Bush lead of 6%, to a big lead of 11%, and now BEHIND by 2%, all in this past month. Thats reliable? No way. Source:
