Graham is not going to get the nomination. And if he doesn't not get back to the center, he could lose his Senate seat. From CBS Political Watch.

...A new Mason-Dixon Polling & Research poll shows Graham's favorability rating at just 47 percent among Florida voters, down from 60 percent in February 2001. It's the first time since he entered the Senate in 1987 that Graham's popularity has dropped below 50 percent in a Mason-Dixon survey, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Graham's partisan rhetoric against President Bush has driven away many Florida Republicans who used to support him, according to poll director Brad Coker.

But the poll does show Graham gaining a bit of ground in a potential match-up with Mr. Bush. The survey found that if the presidential election were held today, Graham would lose to Mr. Bush, 51 percent to 39 percent ? that's an improvement from a May poll that had Graham losing by a 15-point margin, 53 percent to 38 percent.

Meanwhile, Mr. Bush?s favorable rating in Florida is up to 54 percent, six points higher than it was in the aftermath of the 2000 Recount. His job approval has come back to earth post-9/11, dropping from 80 percent to 58 percent, about where it stood on Sept. 10, 2001.....
