Bush Running Even With Kerry

WASHINGTON -- President Bush has pulled back into a tie with Democrat John Kerry in a CBS News-New York Times poll released Monday, apparently boosted by increasing optimism about the economy.

The race remains very close even though Bush's job approval rating was at 42 percent -- the lowest level in this poll amid rising concerns about Iraq and terrorism.

Kerry had 45 percent support and Bush by 44 percent in the poll. In a three-way matchup, Kerry and Bush were still running even while independent Ralph Nader was at 5 percent.

In May, Kerry led Bush by 8 percentage points in a two-way matchup, and by 6 points in a three-way matchup.

The poll found a slight increase in the number of people who said the economy is getting better -- from 25 percent to 30 percent -- and a significant decline in the number who said it's getting worse -- from 21 percent to 30 percent.

Three-fourths of those who say the economy is improving support Bush, and three-fourths of those who say it's getting worse support Kerry.

While Bush's support on Iraq has been dropping in several polls, the public's view of the economy has been gradually improving -- reflecting several months of indications that the economy is bouncing back.

The poll of 1,053 adults, including 875 registered voters, was taken June 23-27 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

All the polls are having slightly different results. Some have Kerry in the lead, some have them neck and neck, and some have Bush ahead.

Yes the polls are that way but you think with the bad press from Taranki's post Kerry would be way ahead.

The democrats far out number the Republicans, and with all the BS being said by both sides you woud figure Kerry would have a greater lead than being too close as it is now.

I look to see Bush pulling something ot of the hat the closer to election we get.

Well,I promised John I'd do my best for him last time we played golf,but I told him that those dirty underhand Republicans wouldn't give up easily or honorably....... :p

Bush will be using all of his position to try to pull last minute voters his way.Now if he could pull Osama out of the hat,and something that looks convincingly like a WMD out of the sand, he might have a sporting chance. With Iraq still in chaos,and Saddam's future still not decided,he's got nothing to show for this campaign so far except dead Marines.

Frankly,if the vote looked like hinging on the Southern states or the NRA vote, I wouldn't put it past him to announce a capital sentence for Saddam a week out from the election....

As with all the elections the last hundred years, its way to early to read anything into the polls or make any type of accurate prediction. People who feel that the right choice is Bush will tend to believe those polls and the confused people who plan on voting for Kerry will believe those :p
