Poll captures a bad moment for Bush President's ratings sink as Kerry gain

[twilight]

<<WASHINGTON -- This has not been a happy new year for President Bush.

A drumbeat of attack by the Democratic presidential contenders, credible allegations about intelligence failings on Iraq and an uninspiring State of the Union message have shaken the solid political standing he seemed to have just a few weeks ago.

A USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll taken Thursday through Sunday showed Bush getting the sort of marks that presidents prefer to avoid: The lowest job-approval rating -- and highest disapproval rating -- of his term. Close to his worst ratings ever for his handling of the economy, health care and Iraq. Optimism about the economy has faded; support for the war in Iraq has waned.>>

AND!

<<Kerry's standing has strengthened not only against his Democratic rivals but also against Bush. For the first time, he clearly defeats the president in a head-to-head matchup, 53% to 46%. By 63% to 24%, those surveyed say Kerry would be a good president. >>

These are some impressive polls to say the least being 63% of those surveyed think Kerry would be a good president!

I am happy to see this even though I am a Kucinich supporter until his name no longer appears on the ballot.

GO DEMOCRATS! OUT THE DOOR IN '04 FOR *!!! :D :party: :party: :D
