I may be too negative but I don't see the momentum swinging back to the Dems "going into this weekend" in the individual polls as this article claims. On the contrary, I see undecideds moving to the GOP incumbent in such races as MT, VA, MO.

Looking for a Lifeboat

A new NEWSWEEK poll shows that the GOP has lost more ground. Will rallying the base stem a Democratic tide?

"Despite round-the-clock coverage of John Kerry’s Iraq gaffe this week and non-stop rallies in which the President paints Democrats as weak-on-terror tax lovers, the political momentum has returned to the Democrats. Maybe that’s because nearly a third of registered voters (32 percent) now say Iraq is the most important issue in deciding their vote. The economy comes in second at 19 percent. And just 12 percent say terrorism, the Republican trump card in the last three elections, is their most important issue. In fact, as millions of Americans fill in their employers’ health-care selection forms for next year, terrorism is statistically tied with health care at 11 percent.

Meanwhile, the President’s approval has fallen back to 35 percent, after a slow but steady rise from 33 percent at the beginning of October to 37 percent in the NEWSWEEK poll last week."
