Newsweek Poll: Tied

[Ben.]

That’s odd I though the national trend over the last week or so had been for Bush to be leading Kerry by around 3-6% nationwide?...well its only one poll…but looks like Bush’s bounce from the new ads may have dissipated…this is probably a very premature reaction…but hey I’ll stick my neck out….

When is Kerry going back on the air…and is there any way of knowing if it is in tandem with these other liberal groups?...if he can do that he can probably bounce himself up even higher…and then no doubt bush will counter attack and retake the lead…why do I have a horrible feeling the lead is going to be shifting in the polls for the entire time up until November?...

Kerry needs to be using ads to dispel the Bush campaigns misrepresentations of his record and define himself as a moderate in most voter’s eyes… now if that add that was hurriedly put up to refute the Bush attacks on his tax plans and record on nation security is anything to go by with a little refinement Kerry should do ok…

I don't know if one poll is enough to conclude that Bush's bounce has stalled.  I believe that Kerry was ahead in this poll a few weeks ago, it shows that he's definitely slipped.

Thats what i said man... i reckon the lead in the national polls will switch a fair bit perhaps all the way to November...
