WASHINGTON - August 15 - In interviews with 1,532 registered voters conducted July 22-24, 2003, and August 5-8, 2003, the Ipsos-Public Affairs/Cook Political Report Poll finds potential trouble for Bush's reelection effort among certain key groups of swing voters.

* Among Non-college educated men, the difference between right direction and wrong track has gone from a net positive (+30) in late April to a net negative (-10) in early August, a shift of 40 points.

Fecal Midas Touch. Everything he touches turns to shit.

2. There is more to it than meets the eye...

This very accurately reflects who the dem candidate must appeal to among swing voters and that looks like hispanics, blacks, and blue collar workers.

3. That would be the Dem candidate who

looks relaxed and natural without a coat and his sleeves rolled up, and speaks Spanish.

Hmm. Who could that be?

5. an honest question

and I hope to get an honest answer. You have posted two utterly contradictory polls with in the past month (I think less but haven't looked it up). You posted a DLC poll which showed gloom and doom for Democrats and this poll which is quite different. My question is simple, which poll do you believe and why.
