A Full Broadside, No Hits
Interesting USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll results yesterday. Some mixed results, but clearly, the poll trends toward Bush. i'm left wondering how such a thing is possible in the face of the full court press being made by Don Hewitt and others of his ilk.

Question 2 asks:
If Massachusetts Senator John Kerry were the Democratic Party's candidate and George W. Bush were the Republican Party's candidate, who would you be more likely to vote for?Bush's March 5-7 number was 44%. Despite Dick Clark, Bush's number has risen to 51%! Kerry's dropped from 52% to 47% during the same period. Those numbers were for likely voters. Kerry's drop was similar in the registered voter and national adult categories, while Bush's gains were more modest.
On overall job approval and Iraq, the presidents numbers are creeping back up. The only hint that anyone's been listening to Dick Clark is that Bush's numbers on terrorism were down 7% since March 5-7.
Has the Clark strategy been ineffective? Will the Democrats run out of new ways to smear Bush before the summer is over? When they run out of ways to distract the public from just how bad a candidate they've chosen, look out below!

I worry that the Clarke attack was released so early...what else do they have in store for the summer or for an October surprise?
Also, don't discount Teresa saying something massively dumb that gets media traction, like a long diatribe about how she's an African-American...you just can't shut a person up who has a few hundred million.

I'm not sure that Clarke's attack was anything more than publicity for his book that the Dems tried to take advantage of. It certainly doesn't seem to be all that well coordinated, and it's been almost comical in how easy it's been to refute.
