Not that I should care at this point about national popular vote polls so long as they have the candidates within a few points of each other, but I had some concern about the next Pew poll. Unlike the Harris poll and The Economist poll, Pew gets a good amount of media play, and if this poll had shown a sizeable Bush lead it would have been more fodder for the TV news pundits talking up Bush's "surge."
Remember folks, this poll is not weighted by party ID, so Kerry's performance is all the more impressive.
