Fox Bush/Kerry poll from Jan. 22..........

[Merusault]

Bush = 49%
Kerry = 42%

[funky_bug]

1. Bush goes up?

The other day it was "un-named Democrat 45%, Bush 43%."

Sounds like confidence is shaken.

[Merusault]

2. Some more numbers.........

The "un-named Democrat" always does better than a named one.

Here's the rest:

Bush = 51
Edwards = 39

Bush = 54
Dean = 34

Bush = 51
Clark = 37

[Renew Deal]

5. Edwards would do better

if anyone knew who he was.

7. lol yup

[overground1]

8. Faux is trying to mislead people into thinking Kerry is the strongest

against Bush. They've got the goods on him, and they can't wait to spill them. Ask Sean Hannity.

11. Thank you for edu-ma-cating me (homage to Jessica Simpson)

btw - I meant no disrespect to any one candidate... just wondering how much the freepin' media is having an affect on public confidence in the Dem party.

16. That was another poll

The last Fox poll that asked that question had Bush with a 7-point margin, so Bush lost 3 points.

4. Anything with Bush under 50% is good <nm>

Kerry hasn't even been nominated yet.

[Frances]

9. I seem to remember that the conventional wisdom

is that any incumbent politician with numbers under 50% is in trouble.

[Eric J in MN]

13. I think the common wisdom is that if an incumbent's approval rating

I think the common wisdom is that if an incumbent's approval rating is below 50%, he'll probably lose, but Bush's approval rating is at 54%.

17. A chart of Bush's approval ratings resembles Cheney's heart monitor.

Up then down, flatline, up then down, flatline...

[lancdem]

18. It's 53 percent in this poll

a drop of 5 points since the last Fox poll.

[lancdem]

14. That was another poll

not a Fox one.

[elperromagico]

15. Look at it this way: Everybody knows an unnamed Democrat.

Not everybody knows John Kerry. They will, though. Hopefully, they'll like him.

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. that's damn good

Bush isn't over 50%. That's a key number.

[Renew Deal]

6. I agree

:kick:

[JohnKleeb]

12. I'd say so Rat

:toast: to Kerry.
