Excerpts:

That represented a slight narrowing of the gap from Mr. Bush's 49-46 percent lead in a CBS News/New York Times poll reported Sunday based on interviews Thursday through Saturday. That poll talked to 920 people and there was a four-point margin of error for likely voters.
Independent candidate Ralph Nader gets 1 percent in both polls.

(snip)

Asked if a candidate had "strong qualities of leadership," 52 percent of registered voters polled Thursday through Sunday said "yes" for Kerry. That number rose to 54 percent among registered voters in a second group reached Saturday to Sunday. Over the same period, Mr. Bush's number slipped from 62 percent to 58 percent.

Respondents were also asked if a candidate could protect the country from a terrorist attack. Over the Thursday to Saturday polling period, 62 percent said Kerry could protect the country "a lot" or "some." Seventy percent said Mr. Bush could protect them "a lot" or "some."

On Saturday and Sunday, Kerry's number held steady. Mr. Bush' dropped to 64 percent.

(snip)

The CBS News results imply that the undecided pool has grown from 4 percent to 6 percent. If that accurately depicts a momentary increase in the number of undecided voters, it would the latest twist in the 2004 race.

13. If we can keep his ceiling at 47-48%,

we'll be okay.

15. only one left today: Washington Post tracking poll

That's released at 5 p.m. EST. If Kerry is w/in 1 of Bush in that one, then it's just about time to order your plane tickets for a 1/19 to 1/23 trip to D.C.

16. The Republican Liars Will Be Spinning To The End...

It doesn't take a PHD in Political Science to see that Bush's shrinking lead is a function of some of his supporters joining the camp of the undecideds...

Does it make sense to you that many people who supported Bush but have changed their mind and become undecided will go back to him..

[sonicx]

17. This is almost the same as the FOX poll. Each later edition shows chimp's

lead shrink.

[cubsfan forever]

18. They are trying to spin it that they are

"on top of things." I have said often that it will be interesting to see how they get out of the "on their knees" position for Shitwit and try to get back into the loop of what is really happening. What a bunch of losers!
