Generally, I don't believe in poll numbers. But I think it's significant that in this one "[f]ifty-seven percent of registered voters say going to war with Iraq has not made America safer from terrorism and 58 percent say they are not satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S." That represents almost two-thirds of voters. If I were in the Bush camp (perish the thought), I'd be concerned.

But even more telling is the upward shift over a three week period of time that indicates Kerry's "electability" is no longer in question. More people believe Kerry is "more likely to win in November" than Bush -- by one percentage point. But Kerry shot up six points from where he was in the last poll query to overtake Bush. It only takes one to beat 'em.
