Greenberg poll: Bin Laden fallout: "Bush dropped the ball" has slight edge
from www.emergingdemocraticmajority.com


The Saturday respondents (250 interviews) were asked the following question: "I'm going to read you a pair of statements about the release of Bin Laden's videotape. Please tell me which one comes closer to your view.

-- It makes me think that George Bush took his eye off the ball in Afghanistan and diverted resources to Iraq.

-- It underscores the importance of George Bush's approach to the war on terrorism.

By 10 points (46 to 36 percent), voters were more likely to think that Bush took his eye off the ball. (These results will be updated when the full survey is completed on Sunday.)

. . . read the entire article for more good information.

Small sample size, so I hedged my phrasing.
Full results out later today.

No question. I hoped the panicked few get a look at this poll.

6. I think you'll get your "ass-stomping lead" Tuesday night
but for now, I'm playing the cautious optimist.

It's hard to believe that a turn-out of 120 million voters is going to leave Bush in office (as a friend reminded me last night, people don't register or turn out in numbers like these to maintain the status quo), and I think we're going to get a turn-out of 120 million voters the way things are rolling along.
