Kerry | Zogby: "Kerry On The Ropes"

John Zogby, explaining that it isn’t an 11 point race, says: “Mr. Kerry is on the ropes.”

I have Mr. Bush leading by 2 points in the simple head-to-head match up - 46% to 44%. Add in the other minor candidates and it becomes a 3 point advantage for the President - 46% to 43%. This is no small achievement. The President was behind 50% to 43% in my mid-August poll and he essentially turned the race around by jumping 3 points as Mr. Kerry lost 7 points. Impressive by any standards.

For the first time in my polling this year, Mr. Bush lined up his Republican ducks in a row by receiving 90% support of his own party, went ahead among Independents, and now leads by double-digits among key groups like investors. Also for the first time the President now leads among Catholics. Mr. Kerry is on the ropes.

Wasn’t this Kerry’s to lose last month?

Anyway, this won’t help Kerry.

Bush was trying to put a jigsaw puzzle together. As he could not figure where to start, he called Cheney. Cheney said to find the biggest object on the picture of the box, collect all the pieces of that color, and then begin. After telling Cheney that there was a large rooster on the box, and that he still couldn’t begin, he asked Cheney to come in to the Oval Office to help. Upon his arrival Cheney looked upon the desk and asked Bush to put the corn flakes back in the box.
