There's a beautiful photo of Bush waving accompanying this article...almost like he's waving GOODBYE.

"A majority of Americans — 57 percent — say they want their next president to steer the country away from the course set by Bush, according to the survey. Bush's standing hit new lows in crucial areas such as the economy (39 percent support him), Iraq (46 percent) and the budget deficit (30 percent).

Bush's overall support, 50 percent, was unchanged from February and equal to the lowest of his presidency; only the war on terrorism continues to garner him the support of more than six in 10 Americans."

1. how in the world is Ralph Nader getting 9%?

Nader appeared on the scene two weeks ago, any memory of his positions are four year old leftover images, and he gets a 9% nod?

7. Nader is at 3% in this particular poll

Where did you see 9%?

2. support slime bag???

How can anyone who isnt a bigot, ignorant, a ranting fundie, or a millionaire even think of supporting this despicable shit

3. What is wrong with people?

Well over half are against * on all the issues (except the "War on Terrorism"), yet his "overall" is 50%. How does that work? It's like flunking all your tests and assignments in school but getting an "overall" passing grade.

6. It DOESN'T work...it's the lie that'll steal the election

I've been on about this for months...Bush's aggregate numbers are ALWAY'S at 50%, no matter how poorly he is doing in the individual demographics.

This is the BS they'll use to steal the election. When the Diebold machines go haywire, precincts are closes and people start to challenge the results, there will be NO RECOUNT. Bush's appointed courts will read Bush's bought and paid for polling numbers as the only reasonable alternative way to determine who won. If Bush has poll numbers indication only 30% support, no one will buy this method. But as long as we all think it was close anyway, it will be much, much easier to steal. Clip this and paste it on the fridge. That fake 50% poll number is the key to November.

4. The more you see of Bush the less you like him.

His handlers were smart to only bring him out with some ones words on paper to read. Now, I am sure , he thinks he can act like God and the more people see of him the less they like.He sounds so un-with it.

[Woodstock]

5. Nader = Good news for Bush

Go to hell, Ralph Nader.

"In a bit of good news for Bush, Nader is drawing essentially all of his support from Kerry, who leads Bush by 9 percentage points in a two-way matchup with the president -- an indication Nader could play the spoiler for Democrats in 2004 as he did four years ago. Underscoring that potential, nearly two-thirds of Democrats opposed Nader's decision to run, while nearly half of all Republicans supported his move."
