The More Things Change

Internal numbers from the latest Time poll -- they aren't moving much.

And in the overall sentiment that weighs against President Bush's re-election chances, little change has been recorded:

A majority of voters still believe the country is going "off on the wrong track" — 51%, compared with 44% who answered that it was headed in the right direction. July's answers were 52% wrong track, 42% right direction.
A majority maintain that it's time for someone else to be president — 54%, while 42% maintain President Bush deserves to be re-elected. That's a one-point shift from our last poll, in which the breakdown was 53% - 43%.
Voters are evenly split, 47% - 47% on whether the United States was right or wrong to go to war with Iraq, where July's poll found a slight majority 49%-46% answering that it was wrong to invade.

Prediction: including quotes like this in his standard stump speech will not help the Prez.

Bush also said high taxes on the rich are a failed strategy because "the really rich people figure out how to dodge taxes anyway."
