I just posted somewhere else that 58% would be the panic number for Democrats. This is getting into the danger zone for them.

Newsweek had it 54 to 43. This must be a new poll.

This is a web poll and means absolute nothing. Any poll based on visits to a particular site or from readers of particular magazines mean squat. Obviously these types of polls are totally skewed towards a particular audience. I say a poll from CNN that said over 50% of respondents did think Bush had made his case to get reelected.

58 days is a long time. President Bush needs to keep getting his message out about Kerry's Senate Record and Vets need to keep getting Kerry's true Vietnam Record out, including what he did when he came home and the damaged it caused. When Kerry and the Dems get desperate anything can happen.
