Independents leaning against Bush re-(s)election.
Poll Shows Independents Leaning Against Bush Re-Election
Saturday November 08, 2003 3:09pm

Independent voters are leaning against the re-election of President Bush (website/newsbio) amid doubts about his handling of the economy and Iraq, a poll released Saturday indicates.

A majority of independents, 53 percent, said they oppose Bush's re-election, while 40 percent favor it, according to the Newsweek poll. Republicans favor his re-election by an 86-10 margin, while Democrats oppose it by the same amount.

Overall, his re-election was favored by 44 percent of respondents and opposed by 50 percent. More of those surveyed favored his re-election in May, but since then, people have been evenly split or slightly opposed on that question.

<snip>

Howard Dean led the Democratic candidates among Democrats and those who lean Democratic. Dean had 16 percent, followed by Wesley Clark with 15 percent; all others were in the single digits.

Top Democratic candidates matched up closely with Bush, with the president ahead by anywhere from 3 percentage points to 5 points....

1. If we can carry independents, even narrowly
with a unified Democratic front, plus help from Greens disgusted with Bush, it will be very difficult for all the illegal shenanigans in Dubya's America to steal this election

2. I'm glad to finally see some cracks in Bush's GOP support
in many previous poll GOP voters were supporting Bush's re-selection by almost 100%!! now an enlightened 10% is emerging. To guarantee victory Dems need to try and crack 15% of the GOP vote.

5. Ask Zell Miller
They probably have a support group or a 12-step program or something.

7. Landslide... for whoever gets the nomination
Even if it is Lieberman, I vow to do whatever it take to make sure he gets elected. If I have to carry people to the polls, I will. Organize car pools, beat the sh*t out of Republicans trying to video tape people going to the polls or take to the streets if the Supreme Court decides to intervene again....
