1. Damn foreign polls

They just don't seem to care about Shrub's feelings.

2. Wow. Bush is really going to lose.

He can't possibly win with those poll numbers.

3. I haven't seen the Economist polls before, but it's a much larger sample..

... size (2027 registered Voters) than most other polls I've ever seen. Related to that, margin or error is smaller (+/- 2%).

Kerry up by 5% (in line with most other, non-Gallup, polls), Bush disapproval at 53%, 58% dissatisfied with the way things are going...

Not looking good for Bush.

4. Bush will probably get a bounce from the GOP convention

I don't know how big of one, but he will get something out of it, unless they repeat their 1992 mistakes and let the evil Pats speak their messages of hatred and intolerance.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. Not necessarily. I'm beginning to think there won't be a bounce at all.

I don't see there being a large enough group of voters who'll swing his way to make a dent.

6. The internals are what are really striking

All around, a firm rejection of Bush and his policies.
