POLLS
If the polls freak you out, as they do me, then here is some perspective: Bush, Kerry Remain Tied After Veterans' Attack Ads. In so many words, the mud thrown over Kerry's war record is not sticking.
I peruse all the poll info pretty closely and I do think that there has been some wear and tear; but overall, not. I have not talked a lot about the whole thing as it just makes me sick to contemplate it all. Yet, it was to be expected and a smear works at least to divert and derange the electorate. Yet, it is a long long time until November. There is a lot to come.
This data does not mention the Zogby results which are actually pretty good. Look here: Democrat John Kerry continues to lead heading into the GOP convention, New Zogby Interactive Presidential Battleground Poll Reveals.
Kerry is still ahead on electoral votes no matter who you read.
In any case, I won't be happy until I get readings like the one in the picture. I don't think that is going to happen, so it is all tenterhooks until 110204.
