I'm starting to wonder about the accuracy of Fox's polls.  Kerry is shown leading Bush in the ARG, Newsweek, Quinnipiac, and Gallup polls, yet FOX has Bush leadin Kerry.  Does FOX slant their polling?

Lets look at the job ratings for Bush:

FOX: 53%
Gallup: 49%
Quinnipiac: 48%
Newsweek: 49%

I seriously doubt Fox's polls are any more slanted to the Right than the other polls are likely slanted to the Left.  Probably averaging Fox with all the leftists polls would get a more accurate reading - in other words right now an almost perfect tie.
Probably where we'll be more or less through the campaign and on election day.  I've said it before and I'll say it again - thank god for the EC!
So Newsweek, Gallup, ARG, Quinnipiac, CNN,  and USA Today are all liberal organizations?

No, just Newsweek, CNN, and USA Today.
CNN isn't.  Remember their cheering of Gulf War I?

Even if Bush's job rating is around 45% he still can win.

Yes, but ultimately the election will be a referendum on Bush, not Kerry. If Bush's approval rating is low, he won't win unless he can make Kerry out to be incompetent (which is highly unlikely). That strategy has never worked in the past. I think that you have to run a mostly positive campaign to win if you are an incumbent.
Well, Kerry is a pretty weak candidate, so they can apint him as a Mass liberal, or the new 'latte-drinking' liberal tag, so a damaged Bush could beat Kerry.

I don't see him as weak at all, I think he has a lot of strengths. I guess we'll just have to see what happens though.
Massachusetts liberal, taxachusetts liberal, latte-drinking liberal, Dukakis liberal, tax and spend liberal, conservative senator of Massachusetts, more liberal than Ted Kennedy.

They can say all that and much more.  Kerry has so much baggage you would think he's headed to the airport.
