Bush Widens Lead Over Kerry In Spite Of Difficulties In Iraq

Despite the Iraq (news - web sites) prison scandal that has rocked the Bush administration and damaged America's credibility, the latest Investor's Business Daily/TIPP poll shows that the president would win if the election were held today.

The nationwide poll of 981 adults, taken May 2-8 (after the prison scandal broke) revealed that among 823 registered voters Bush leads Kerry 46% to 41%, with independent Ralph Nader (news - web sites) getting 5%. In a two-way race, Bush leads Kerry 47% to 44%.

In an IBD/TIPP poll taken April 16-22, Bush led by four points in a three-man race.
In swing states, Bush widened his lead from 3 points in mid-April to 9 points in early May. He now leads Kerry in the so-called battleground states 49% to 40%.
But the race is very close among independent voters. Bush gets 40% of their votes; Kerry gets 39%.

Bush's presidential leadership ratings, as measured by the IBD/TIPP Presidential Leadership Index, also rose - from 49.5 in April to 51.8 in May, a gain of 4.5%.
"Despite a tough month, Bush seems to have come out ahead," said Raghavan Mayur, president of TIPP, a unit of TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence and IBD's polling partner. "Bush's ratings have improved among 15 of the 21 demographic groups we track."

Intensity of support among Bush voters is much stronger than support for Kerry, the poll continues to show. While 68% of Bush's supporters say they support him strongly, only 38% of Kerry's supporters say the same for him.

Kerry also lags Bush in tapping his party's constituencies. Bush gets 90% of Republican votes while Kerry gets 77% of Democrats. In fact, one in eight Democrats (12%) want to vote for Bush.

Only 11% of Democrats say they are "very satisfied" with the choice of candidates in this year's election and 59% are "somewhat satisfied." This contrasts with 42% of Republicans who are "very satisfied" and 37% who are "somewhat satisfied."
Among independents, 16% are "very satisfied" and 43% are "somewhat satisfied" with the available choice of candidates.

More bad news for the deMAOrats and their arrogant lying candidate.

THE RIGHT IS RIGHT

Not bad news. I only follow the ZOGBY poll. If the ZOGBY poll starts predicting Bush will win, only THEN will I be worried.

We really shouldn't be following any polls until mid October.

MORE KERRY LIES

It's bad enough that Nick Berg's father is trying to pin the death of his son on President Bush. Now we have The Poodle's campaign staff on the phone with the media within minutes of The Poodle hanging up with that vile creature and then saying it was Berg who reached out to them. Then they backtracked saying it was them who reached out to him. FLIP and FLOP.

Then The Poodle's staff makes a point of telling the media Lurch had to set up a time with the White House to view the "panties over the heads" pictures and videos of that West Virginian slimeball who porked a variety of guys when, in fact, all Senators had to set up times to view those images except Kerry's staff never made the effort in the beginning.

Clinton pales next to this guy for arrogance, lies, waffling, and tossing off of blame. Yep, Ole Clinton was a piker compared to The Poodle.

Latest bad news (SMILE!) for Bush, his approval rating slides to a NEW LOW, 41 percent:

Well, we all know that CBS is very slanted for Kerry, so it's no surprise. Five more months will prove who is the people's choice...GWB!
