Are polls taking a toll?

And half of the country (+/-) think W is doing the WRONG things, and
doing them horribly.
Yes, of course, but once again, you've completely missed the point. If
polls show he's got approximately half of the available support, he simply
can't be said to be doing poorly.
Using YOUR analogy, one could also say he simply can't be said to be
doing GOOD, then right?
snip gratuitous insults
..... A lot of people, right about half of
the country, like what Kerry stands for, likes his environmental,
economic, and social issues stances.
No, half the country doesn't "....like what Kerry stands for...", half the
country responds to polls at this time by saying they prefer Kerry to Bush.
But Kerry's support is not deep at all. The general analysis right now is
that if Nader garners more than 3% - 5% of the vote, it will be impossible
for Kerry to win. That is very thin support indeed.
With Bush now at less than 50%, the exact same thing could be said of
him!
If you look carefully at the progression of support through the early part
of the primary season, you see that Kerry was usually running behind until
the person in the lead tripped somehow. He's like the guy who runs through
the entire ten-mile road race far back in fourth place, but wins when the
first three contenders all get tangled and fall a half-mile from the finish
line.
As long as the ignorant, lying, cheating, scum bag falls all the way
to Crawford, Texas, fine!
