Dean holds on to lead

Dean, meanwhile, remained the clear favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination even though scores of political operatives and analysts predicted that his campaign, which was built on his opposition to the war, would suffer in the face of favorable news for the administration.

Moreover, when paired against Dean in a head-to-head matchup, Bush's support was unchanged, rising only one point, to 52 percent, well within the poll's reported margin of sampling error of 4.3 percent.

1. and the margin of error shows that Bush really didn't gain a lead on Dean

looks like the Saddam capture really did nothing for Bush.

3. Just wait for another couple of weeks of attacks and body bags

and the Smirk sinking will continue.

Never has so much vapid hype been spent on such a non-event in the history of man as the last two days of Saddamorgasms.

4. Phew!

My gut really tells me that people know who they will vote for (repuke vs. dem) and are pretty well entrenched in their decision no matter who the candidate is. I know that's how I feel. As far as I'm concerned, * could end poverty, create world peace and find a cure for cancer and I still wouldn't vote for him!!

5. FALSE

Dean did slip in the head-to-head matchup with Bush, falling from 39 percent support Saturday to 31 percent on Sunday. But nearly all of the lost supporters moved into the "neither" or "not sure" categories, as Bush gained only one point.

Dean now trails by 20 where before he was down by 11.

So once again Dean does better than Clark in a head to head matchup with Bush. This time it's a National Poll from NBC/WSJ.
