High-Stakes Convention
Poll Shows Support for Kerry Weakens on Issues and Attributes
ABC News | 26 Jul | Gary Langer

The critical convention season begins with John Kerry losing momentum at just the hour he'd like to be gaining it: President Bush has clawed back on issues and attributes alike, reclaiming significant ground that Kerry had taken a month ago.

Kerry has lost support against Bush in trust to handle five of six issues tested in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, including terrorism, Iraq, taxes and even health care. And Kerry's ratings on personal attributes — honesty, strong leadership, consistency, empathy and others — have softened as well.

The bottom line has shifted only very subtly. Head-to-head, the Massachuestts senator has slipped from a slight lead in late June to a dead heat today, with 49 percent support for Bush and 48 percent for Kerry among registered voters. Including Ralph Nader, it's 48 percent-46 percent-3 percent.

More...lots more... (http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/Vote2004/kerry_poll_040726.html)

Hi N8,

Thought you might like to see a slighly less biased (and more comprehensive) poll:

http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?ReportID=220

Gives slightly different results.

Have you read any of his post... of ocourse he doesn't.

If it isn't totally pro-Bush / Republicans it's obviously a fabrication...

Try www.bbc.co.uk or Al-Jazeera sometime. and Liberal is the wrong word. But anyway did you read it?

Al-Jazeera - that's the Fox European version right?

and Liberal is the wrong word.
Just curious - but why (as that is what I get labeled...)

But anyway did you read it?
Silly question... of course he didn't.

LOL, Yeah, that's right.

Just curious - but why (as that is what I get labeled...)

Because 'Liberal' means:

1) a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties
2) a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets

ABC are owned by Disney, who are monopolistic. Disney also certainly don't support civil liberties.

I'd say the more acurate term from where I'm sitting is 'Centerist' - Neither of the 2 main political parties in the US really have any real 'Liberal' in them. Dem's are center-Left at a push, on a fluffy feeling day when they all got laid the night before.


Silly question... of course he didn't.

Is N8 actually an agent of the RNC?
