>>However, the poll also revealed that less than half (47 percent) of likely voters are paying "very close" or "fairly close" attention to the 2004 presidential election right now. One-fourth of likely voters are paying "very close" attention while an additional 22 percent are paying "fairly close" attention. Another 25 percent say they are paying "some" attention to the race while 17 percent admit they are only paying attention "just a little." The remaining 11 percent did not offer a comment about the 2004 presidential election. The poll also found public perception that the country is moving in the right direction and that things are going well in the United States jumped 12 points to 65 percent. Only 53 percent of likely voters believed this in a previous poll taken in mid-November.<< It's so true that more than half voters don't pay any attention this early in campaign. Close friend of mine, who's usually very engaged with current events, informed me recently that he will start paying some attention when the Dem's have chosen their nominee. The last paragraph of that article re public's perception of country moving in right direction could change drastically if the layoffs & jobs outsourcing continue.

Dean Head To Head With Bush In Match - Up. That could have as easily been the headline. Thanks Time/CNN for your " unbiased " interpretation. HAR! Look at the numbers : In a head-to-head matchup, Bush defeats Dean 51-46, Lieberman loses 52-46, Kerry is crushed 54-43, Gephardt is beaten 53-44, Clark is clobbered 53-43, and Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) is edged 53-43. Then look at the margin of error : The TIME/CNN poll of 1,004 adult Americans as well as 399 registered Democrat or Democrat leaning voters was taken on December 30, 2003 and January 1, 2004 and has an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Meaning Bush could have L-O-S-T to Dean 48 to 49 % within the margin of error. Then this : These numbers indicate some slight differences in support for Bush over the previous TIME/CNN poll, which showed Bush leading by 13 percent over Dean, 13 percent over Lieberman, 8 percent over Kerry, 13 percent over Gephardt, 7 percent over Clark, and 14 percent over Edwards. SLIGHT DIFFERENCE~~~~~!!! He's slipped by a full S-I-X-T-Y___ P-E-R-C-E-N-T !! of his lead over Dean here fer goodness sakes!! The headline could have easily Read : BUSH LOOSING MAJOR SUPPORT AGAINST DEAN IN MATCH-UP Oh well...I guess that's about all we could expect from the New RNN - Republican News Network...LOLOL!! Thanks for the information Sly. KC
