Bush has gained 8 in the South VS 2000 according to Mr. Zogby

there is no 'gain of 8' in the South. That assumes 100% of undecideds are breaking for Bush

This poll says that Bush got 52.85% of the votes in the last election and is polling at 52.0% support in his 'safest' states.

so...no real change, he hasnt gained any ground, in fact it looks like he has lost some.

And only 50% of Southerners support his Iraq policy...that must be the lowest number yet for the region. If he cant get a majority of Southerners to support his Iraq policy he is in deep doodoo
