In case you think no one's paying attention.
Wednesday March 24, 2004--The latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows Senator John F. Kerry at 47%, President George W. Bush at 44%, and "some other candidate" at 4%.
These numbers reflect quite a change in the race after Bush had been leading Kerry for seven straight days. The recent news cycle may be taking a toll on the President's numbers. Only time will tell whether this is a lasting shift or just a temporary aberration.
Ratings for President Bush's handling of the "situation in Iraq" have declined over the past week. Just 43% of Americans give the President good or excellent marks in this area. That's down from 47% a week ago. The President's numbers have also declined in the economic arena.
These hearing are killing Junior. Too bad. And Clarke hasn't even gone on yet.
