After more than a month of intensive anti-Kerry television commercials by Bush's re-election campaign, 54 percent of voters said they had a favorable impression of the U.S. senator from Massachusetts, and more voters said they thought Kerry would do a better job handling the economy than the president.

After weeks of Bush campaign attacks accusing Kerry of flip-flops on issues, voters were evenly split, 44 percent to 44 percent, over whether the senator "means what he says and says what he means.

However, no mention is made of the incessant attacks in the media against Bush that have been going on for years, attacks which are, in effect, gratis ads provided by the news media to the Democratic Party. I guess it's understandable that no mention is made of it in the piece since CNN is one of the prime malefactors

No sh*t! What ever happened to the "Bush Economy" mantra once the numbers started going up? Petah Jennings can bite me.
