Poll Says U.S. Voters Evenly Split on Bush 2 hours, 22 minutes ago Add Politics - Reuters to My Yahoo! WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A year before the next presidential election, voters in the United States are about where they were in 2000 on the question of President Bush (news - web sites) -- split down the middle -- according to a new poll by Time magazine and CNN. The poll showed that 47 percent were somewhat likely or very likely to vote to re-elect Bush and 48 percent were somewhat unlikely or very unlikely to do so. Bush's overall job approval rating was at 52 percent, according to the poll, down from its peak of 89 percent in October 2001, just after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. His disapproval rating reached a new high, at 43 percent, the poll said. Even with rising disapproval ratings, Bush still would defeat any of his possible Democratic opponents if the election was held this year. The poll of 1,507 people, conducted Nov. 18-19, had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. The Democrat who would give Bush the toughest run for re-election would be retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark (news - web sites), according to the survey's results. Even so, Bush would defeat Clark 49 percent to 42 percent, according to the poll. Bush would best former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (news - web sites), the Democratic who has raised the most campaign money to challenge the president, by 59 percent to 39 percent of those polled. Bush's handling of the U.S. economy and post-war Iraq (news - web sites) are expected to be the two hottest issues of the 2004 presidential campaign. Note: Reuters may have a typo in there with 59% for Bush against Dean. 2% undecided seems low at this point, but who knows?

Hey, Mean Spirit. With friends like you, Kerry doesn't need any enemies. Same goes for the USA. I wonder how much aid and comfort the enemy has gotten from your anti-American posts.

<<In this debate you cannot lie. >> there goes all your material. your latest blatherings don't even accurately track the nature of our little debate. I've been extremely clear. Anyone with half a brain reading our exchanges could see that. You are the most obtuse individual I've encountered in a long time. Of course, that's how it is with sheep like you. bottom line: I'm content with what I've already said. If you don't like it or think it adequate, who cares? you can bleat about it all you like...LOL
