Barely one-third of Arizona voters say they would give President Bush a second term, a statewide poll revealed Thursday.

The 34 percent support for his re-election, with 44 percent preferring someone else and 22 percent undecided, reflects a dramatic plunge in popularity for Bush. In 2000, he beat Al Gore in Arizona by a margin of 6 percentage points, or nearly 100,000 votes of 1.5 million cast.

The poll also found that slightly more than half (52 percent) of respondents opposed providing $87 billion, as Bush has requested, for continued military presence and reconstruction in Iraq. Forty-two percent supported the request, and 6 percent were undecided.

A total of 390 registered voters were surveyed statewide. Results have a sampling error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.

This is rather amazing! If this holds, we are winning in a landslide. I don't know that it will, but it's a definite good sign.

1. I predict a 50 state sweep once the people realize the Unelected One

is a fraud and needs to be placed in prison, for the rest of his natural life.

6. Nah

Some states will go Repub no matter what. I'm talkin about Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, etc. - states that haven't gone Democratic since 1964.

2. Arizona has 10 electoral votes

and if we can take Arizona I think we can win Nevada and Colorado too.

4. Colorado is a little shakey though

Alot of it is rural and they share the same political views of Wyomings, the only area we can guarantee is the Boulder-Denver area. The rest we will have to fight hard to win, but Clinton did when it in 1992 against an incumbent Bush.

3. I told all of you

who said 'We can't win Arizona', this poll does mean we can win it, but it doesn't guarantee it.

5. Whoa!

Now THAT surprises me. I think of Arizona as a Repuke state. Awesome! :)

7. We should target Arizona heavily next year

Also I think Governor Napolitano would bring a lot to the ticket.

8. WOW

Arizona...You mean the ole' holy ground of fighting a federal law for a King day?

Talking putting Chimp out to pasture. Keep the heat on, stay vigilant and we will end this miserable nightmare in 2004.
