#1 Just saw this on Drudge myself, but it really seems to be a non-story. It certainly doesn't warrant top billing on the site. Where's Dubya's name in this poll for comparison? How 'bout Nader? I don't know why Matt is posting this so prominently on his site. It's incomplete.

#2 Exactly Dar, but I think they are alluding to Kerry’s surge (downward) in ‘battleground’ states. However, Kerry’s has never had a high ‘likeability’ on every poll taken and lags far behind the President.

#3 Well, if there's anything about it that really encourages me, it's that he ranks lower than Dukakis. Reagan won 49 out of 50 states' electoral votes when he faced Dukakis.

#4 The Gipper was a lot more likeable than W.

#5 Dar: Reagan won 49 out of 50 states' electoral votes when he faced Dukakis.

Reagan faced Mondale.

#6 Gipper was pegged as an imbecil and fool - just like W.

#7 If Nader gets on the ballot in FL PA and OH, then Kerry's toast.

He can't move to the left without sacrificing normal, moderate, hawkish Dems esp jewish ones in Miami, Philly, Cleveland (goodbye FL PA OH). He can't move to the right without sacrificing enough lefties to Nader top tip those states to W.

#8 ZF--D'OH! You're right! I'm a doofus! Dammit! Oh, well--Dukakis was still beat by a Bush, so hopefully Kerry's even lower showing will amount to the same thing. Thanks for pointing that out.

Lex--FL is putting Nader on the ballot, but PA ruled him out a couple weeks ago (I posted here but am too lazy to search for link right now). Don't know about OH.

#9 PA and OH dhimmi's are probably regretting their decision not to put Nader on the ballot about now. If sKerry's numbers fall any farther, Nader is their best shot.

#10 Do these numbers show the average, or the lowest numbers achieved by the folks in question. I'm guessing they were cherry-picked to make the point.

#11 Reminds me of those old Bloom County cartoons where Milo would read the poll numbers to Opus the Penguin who was running for VP.

Just above Mondale, just below stewed prunes.

#12 A tick away from Tailgunner Joe, too. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

I smell The Toricelli Option in the air. Who do you reckon would be the stand-in?

#13 Equal to Martha Stewart - But does he have a meringue recipe? Scott Peterson wants to know!

#14 OK, Kerry still has a shot. But only if gasoline prices rise sharply before Nov. Somehow I think Rove and Bush have taken that into account.

You're kidding, right? What kind of moron would base their vote on the current price of gas?

#16 BaR: One with a SUV.

#17 I think you're right on the money in #7, lex. But I also agree with Bomb-a-rama. It was raw strength of will that most Americans were looking for. They made their collective decision during the RNC.

George Bush is a fighter. John Kerry is not. Should the poll results reverse again, Karl Rove will just dream up a new way to put Mr. Kerry in a bad light.

Mr. Kerry can blame it all on his campaign advisors. But he is still the one ultimately responsible.
