Polls

I give a shit what polls say this early.  And it's still early, but the CBS has this:
 
(CBS) Senator John Kerry heads toward his nominating convention holding a slight lead over President George W. Bush in the CBS News/New York Times poll, and the ticket of Kerry and his vice presidential nominee John Edwards seems to have generated increased enthusiasm for the Kerry candidacy. This year the electorate is especially well tuned-in. Today, nearly half of all registered voters say they are paying a lot of attention to the race and nearly all voters are paying at least some. In 2000, just one-quarter were paying a lot of attention at this stage of the campaign. In fact, more voters in this poll say they are paying a lot of attention at this point in time than in any CBS News summertime election year poll.[my emphasis]


This bodes well for Kerry/Edwards in my opinion because the more people pay attention to what's going on, the more people will question the looters in office now. That's if they don't get their news from Fox.
