Bush is leading Kerry by 1.1%. That's only a tenth lower. Yesterday's was most likely an outlier.
We'll begin seeing the "real" numbers on Friday (the first day of full polling results after Labor Day)
You are right, if Kerry really had closed the gap, you would have seen hime perhpas pull ahead today because his sample yesterday was ridiculously favorable.
It was. Rasmussen will be releasing an article at three explaining that.
The whole Ramussen "tracking survey" is an outlier. I don't buy it for a minute. If it was true, you wouldn't be seeing Kerry act with such desperation. Every real world indication tells us Bush is on the boards up by double digits.
