Bush continues to be dogged by relatively low job approval ratings, which traditionally are a sign of trouble for the incumbent's re-election bid. Among likely voters, 47 percent disapprove of the president's overall job performance, and 45 percent approve.

Another red flag for the president is that a majority of Iowans have taken a pessimistic view of how things are going in the nation: Fifty-five percent say the country has gotten off on the wrong track; 39 percent say it's headed in the right direction.

15. I Knew This Would Turn Our Way

I pointed out in a thread earlier how many had Kerry written off up to the final week in Iowa and he closed real strong. A lot of credit has and now belongs to the Vilsack organization that has become an effective, positive force in the state.

Here's to the Hawkeye DU'ers in Des Moines, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids and the Quad Cities...with your hard work and GOTV, the race won't even be close. Thanks and cheers!
