#10566 RE: sarals #10553

Sarals watching results of two polls i have too say it.
It's allover.
Kerry would have to be magnificient in a debate and frankly we know ahead of time, he will not be.
Charisma he just doesn't have plus he capitulated completely on the only issue he had , the war in Iraq.
When he said he would have voted for war even if he knew there were no WMDs and/or an Al Queda link he showed he is either in FACT an arch major hawk or a person without conviction willing to say anything he greatly mistook would win him the election.
Bush, who knows when someone had exposed his jugular vein, slashed it the next day by mocking Kerry for what he said.
That Bush now has a 11% lead now is awesome, it will be denial now i feel to think the unthinkable is real.
They're going to be Back!. Bush Cheney Rummy, here they come.
My wife sees it, it is over, she will vote for Kerry anyway--me, i will vote, via write-in ; for what ever is in my head at the time. At this moment it is for the spirit of Tug McGraw:)
My wife does agree ; however, the shame is on Kerry and the democratic party.
I have the past months watched a cowardly party pull a Titannic.
To the ABBERS, most of you are a lot better than the candidate that became 'The Anyone'.

o yes, the polls
<<Bush Has Double-Digit Lead on Kerry - Newsweek Poll

Sat Sep 4, 1:49 PM ET Add U.S. National - Reuters to My Yahoo!



NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) emerged from the Republican National Convention with an 11-point lead over Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites), according to a Newsweek poll released on Saturday, the second straight survey showing him ahead by double digits.
The Newsweek poll of 1,008 adults conducted on Thursday and Friday showed Bush leading Kerry by 52 percent to 41 percent among registered voters, with independent Ralph Nader (news - web sites) at 3 percent. The survey had a 4-point margin of error.


That represented a 13-point bounce for Bush since an Aug. 5-10 poll by Princeton Survey Research Associates International for the Pew Research Center, Newsweek said. Polls for months had shown Bush and Kerry running neck and neck.


A Time poll released on Friday showed Bush leading Kerry by an identical margin in a three-way race with Nader for the Nov. 2 election. That survey polled 926 likely voters from Tuesday to Thursday during the convention in New York that nominated Bush for a second term.


Newsweek's survey found that while 49 percent of respondents were dissatisfied with the country's direction versus 43 percent who were satisfied, Bush's approval rating rose to 52 percent. That was up 7 points since the magazine's last poll in late July and the first time it rose higher than 50 percent since January.


Fifty-three percent of registered voters also wanted to see Bush re-elected, the poll found. The last time a majority of Americans favored his re-election was May 2003, Newsweek said.


Among registered voters, 60 percent thought Bush would do a better job on terrorism and national security, versus 32 percent for Kerry. Bush was also favored over Kerry on foreign policy by 54 percent to 38 percent, the situation in Iraq (news - web sites) by 55 percent to 37 percent and the economy by 49 percent to 43 percent.


Respondents preferred Kerry to Bush on health care and the environment.


Twenty-eight percent of registered voters saw terrorism and homeland security as the most important issue, followed by 21 percent for the economy, 13 percent for health care and 11 percent for the situation in Iraq.>>
