I can get as pessimistic as anyone but why all the crybabying about this? Like others have mentioned, this is very likely the lingering result of a weekend poll. The time to get depressed, and only then, is when W actually loses, not before. If the situation really is bad, we can't change it by being gloomy.
Something's not right here. On Thursday Fox released a poll showing Bush with a commanding 5-pt lead. Then the UBL tape came out and they released a holf-cocked poll on Friday showing Bush leading 47-45, by 2-pts. Now today we have a poll showing Bush trailing by 2-pts, 46-48. Why am I not buying this?
Because EVERY poll taken, including Fox's show that Bush has a commanding lead in nat'l security/War on Terror/Iraq. And suddenly UBL appears (with a pretty pathetic message) and Kerry goes from 5 under to 2 over in less than 5 days?? Hello! Has Fox drank the kool-aid.
It is a weekend poll. Bush is winning and everyone keep optimistic. Even Rasmussen has Bush ahead +1.4 and that from weekend polling!!
Fox/OpDyn choked. Yeah the FL poll's real believable too. [/sarcasm off]
