About Those Polls
Kerry is doing well against Bush in the polls according to
Gallup. But if you look at the graph that Polling Report has on their front page, you'll note that Bush improves against Edwards, beats Clark, and beats Dean handily.
What's going on? It's obvious that Kerry is benefiting from being seen as a winner. Edwards is #2, Clark is #3 and Dean is the year's big disappointment. In other words, these polls don't reflect anything other than current perceptions of the Democratic candidates. Kerry will come down to earth pretty soon.
