i *guess* it's good news
USA TODAY Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2004
Washington -- Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry would defeat President Bush if the election were held today, according to a USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll that shows serious vulnerabilities for the president.
...
Kerry defeated Bush 53% to 46%...
Bush's job-approval rating dipped below 50% for the first time in his presidency, to 49%, and his disapproval ratings rose to a record 48%...
...
Bush, whose job approval was a robust 60% just three weeks ago, faces ... some sobering history. Since World War II, only two presidents have trailed challengers early in the election year. In 1948, Harry Truman was behind Thomas Dewey but won in November. In 1976, Gerald Ford was behind Jimmy Carter and lost.
...
Among the Democratic candidates, Kerry was supported by a commanding 49% of Democrats nationally who are registered to vote. Former front-runner Dean was second at 14%, followed by Edwards at 13%.
So, boys, is this just due to a media cycle in the middle of the heart of primary season or is it finally time for everybody, regardless of personal conviction in regards to the candidate, to rally around the front-runner?
