Gotta love the convention bounce, eh Johnx2? Oh wait, they didn't really get one, did they? :)
I'm actually a bit surprised by this poll figure:

On the economy, tied with the war on terrorism as the most important issue ahead of the Nov. 2 election among registered voters, Bush narrowly came out on top
Kerry's in deep trouble if Bush is polling higher then him on the economy. As much as I'll defend Bush's decisions in that area, I'll readily grant that most voters will tend to look purely at the fact that we've gone through a bad recession during Bush's term and are still down from where we were when he took office. I happen to think that trending directions are more important, but most will just look at the start and end points of a term. If he's even narrowly beating out Kerry on this poll, even given the assumed post-convention bounce in ratings, that's got to have Democrats concerned. If I was a member of Bush's campaign, I would have been overjoyed to just pull up close to Kerry on the economy. Pulling ahead, even a bit, is huge.
