New poll: Good news, Kerry has caught Bush again. Tied now. And if Nader drops out, Kerry is ahead. Bush 45% Kerry 45% Election 2004 Presidential Ballot Bush 45% Kerry 45% Other 5% Not Sure 6% RasmussenReports.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rasmussen Reports Home Friday April 23, 2004--On Friday morning, the Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows President George W. Bush with 45% of the vote and Senator John F. Kerry with 45%. A related survey found that Americans are closely divided as to whether we should send more troops to Iraq on a temporary basis. However, the dynamics of the issue may present some difficulties for the Kerry campaign. Among Kerry supporters, 72% oppose the Senator's position on increasing troop strength. At the same time, there has been a slight decline in public preference for President Bush on national security issues. Still, the President retains an edge on this issue almost identical to the advantage he had at the time Kerry wrapped up the Democratic nomination. At Rasmussen Reports we have received many requests for supplemental data in recent weeks. In response to this, we are preparing a Premium Service for those who are interested. Details will be available early next week. Please feel free to contact us with suggestions, comments, or questions. Also, we will release our latest polling data from New Hampshire today at 3:00 p.m. Eastern. The Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll is updated daily by noon Eastern.

Do remember all the dolts on SI arguing before our invasion of Iraq last year how it was the highest priority that we get those WMDs before Saddam wipes out Western civilization? Funny how those arguements have proven so hallow. I think most people at this point realize they were duped by the WMDs hysteria. It is an amazing lesson in human gullibility and propaganda. It's kind of hard being a conservative in America these days. I mean, to be a conservative in America in 2004, you have to let yourself be indoctrinated by American media/government propaganda and then start exposing it as though it's the truth. You have to accept and repeat the big lie. In the good old days of the Cold War, a conservative could argue that America had the high moral ground and some things (like coups) could be justified for the higher principle of defeating communism. But now? How can anyone in their right mind argue that what we're doing in Iraq is moral or taking the high ground? We're just another imperialistic power, invading and conquering to control natural resources. There's nothing terribly moral or high-minded about that old trick.
