Poll - Itics II

Boy oh boy, that one is just too clever to let it die...

Another poll shows Bush with the double-digit lead. It seems strange that Zogby doesn't mirror either this or the Time/CNN poll -- however, Zogby didn't include respondents from Friday; maybe the Bush speech was just that good.

Regardless, Kerry needs to get his ducks in a row and start moving. Maybe shutting down for the month of August wasn't so clever after all.

Bush has opened up a double-digit lead in a second poll released after the wrap-up of the Republican National Convention. The Newsweek poll showed Bush at 52 percent, Democrat John Kerry at 41 percent and independent Ralph Nader at 3 percent.

Kerry had a 49-42 edge while Nader had 3 percent in a Newsweek poll released right after the Democratic National Convention.

The poll of 1,008 registered voters was taken Thursday and Friday and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
