Here's YOUR BALONEY on WHEAT! Bush Support for 2004 Dips Below 50% Results suggest a close partisan balance is reemerging. Lieberman and Kerry emerge as early Democratic leaders in the race. By Ronald Brownstein, Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON -- The share of Americans favoring President Bush's reelection in 2004 has fallen below 50%, while Sens. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut and John F. Kerry of Massachusetts have emerged as the leaders for the Democratic nomination to oppose him, a new Los Angeles Times poll has found. Just 45% of registered voters said they are now likely to support Bush for reelection, while 40% said they were inclined to back the Democratic nominee, the survey found. Fifteen percent said they don't now lean in either direction. As recently as December, just over half of the adults in a Times poll said they would likely support Bush for reelection in a question that was phrased slightly differently. Though opinions are likely to change several times before voters go to the polls in 2004, the new results suggest that the close partisan balance that defined American politics before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is slowly reasserting itself. The fall in the percentage of voters committing to support Bush's reelection parallels a decline in his job approval rating since last fall and the return of sharp divisions along party lines about his performance. "This means the public is open to an alternative," said Jim Jordan, campaign manager for Kerry's presidential campaign. "This is obviously a Democratic nomination worth having, and earlier it wasn't absolutely clear that was going to be the case." The Times Poll, supervised by polling director Susan Pinkus, interviewed 1,197 registered voters nationwide from Jan. 30 through Feb. 2; it has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. About half the interviews were conducted before the loss of the space shuttle Columbia, but opinions about Bush changed little after the disaster.

The Democratic Party isn't much of a party. That's why the economy does so much better under Democrats. The people are more involved in taking care of their own business, instead of a highly-organized Party cooking up elaborate scams against the people with Gov't protection. Without trillions in big Gov't programs like DOD and HUD , highly-organized political parties can't dangle billions to bribe thousands of supporters with hundreds of scams against the American people. Democrats are just a collection of loosely-connected local & state parties of people that work for a living that only come together when there's a real problem, like now. Maybe. you can be assured that Republican majorities are going to do some good things for the economy. One can always hope, but it's a matter of pure faith at this point, since the facts indicate otherwise.
