Looks like Bush was in pretty decent shape in Ohio as of last week. Of course, that was before the Rasmussen Poll showed the Bush collapse nationally over the last couple of days.
When a poll consistantly shows a race frozen for 6 wks and then the bottom falls out, you know there is real movement. For the first time, I believe Bush is in serious trouble. So much for good economic news.....Jobs report meant nothing.
I guess its Iraq - the American people are shockingly wimpy about war nowadays.
I'm not sure that's right. I will vote for Bush but I was a serious and vocal opponent of the Iraq war. In fact, those who think spending all that money on Iraq was a grand idea will like Bush. Those who don't split along the lines of the Dean/Kucinich faction (We should bail out now) and the Carole Moseley Braun faction (No, now we're stuck, so let's do it right. Better to look like bullies than fools.) I fall more into the latter category. I'm not sure if there's any data on which group better describes antiwar Republicans.
Bush will rise and fall based on economics, at least that's what 73% of you said, out of 19 respondents to my poll on this forum regarding that exact question.
