I am sure there are 10 other polls that will show completely different views, but interesting none the less.

Bush's Approval Rating at All-Time Low -Poll
Wed Apr 28, 2004 08:39 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Bush's approval rating is at an all-time low and fewer than half of Americans now believe invading Iraq was the right thing to do, according to a CBS/New York Times poll released on Wednesday.
The poll found that if the presidential election due in November was held today, 46 percent of Americans would vote for Democrat John Kerry and 44 percent would vote for Bush -- if independent Ralph Nader stayed out of the race.

The poll, with a sampling error of 3 percentage points, was conducted among 1,042 adults nationwide from Friday to Tuesday during a spate of fierce fighting in Iraq. More than 115 U.S. soldiers have been killed in combat this month.

"Just 32 percent, the lowest number ever, say Iraq was a threat that required immediate military action a year ago," the poll reported.

I'll call my sister. She is a pollitical poll analyst for CBS and considered one of the best at it too. She also teaches stats and politics at UConn. If she was invloved with this poll, I would bet it's damn acurate.

I don't think even the Dems really believe Kerry can defeat Bush in this election and that voice is starting to be articulated within the party....

she said the very same thing. They are trying to see if Edwards as a running mate will be enough, but it might not be. The next question is "Is it too late to swap Edwards in?" I say no, I would rather vote for Edwards.

But I agree that I would also vote Ham Sandwich instead of Bush :D
