>>That "liberal rating" the Bushies use is pure BS.<<

I think that on Wednesday evening we can expect Bush to drive home the point that Kerry is a liberal.

October 11, 2004--During the second Presidential Debate, President Bush made several references to Senator Kerry as politically liberal. Kerry consistently responded that labels don't matter.

Whether or not labels matter, the President's message did have an impact on voter perceptions of both candidates.

Sixty-five percent (65%) of voters now see the President as politically conservative. That's up from 60% immediately following the first debate and similar to the numbers following the Republican National Convention. Sixty-one percent (61%) of conservatives now believe the President is one of them.

For John Kerry, 55% now see him as politically liberal. That's the highest its been all year. Following the first debate, 49% viewed the Senator as politically liberal. For most of the year, that figure was in the low-to-mid 40s.

Thirty-one percent percent (31%) of liberals now see the Democratic nominee as one of them. Most liberal voters (59%) still view the Senator as politically moderate.
