LA Times Poll Shows Bush Leading Kerry

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - President Bush has pulled ahead of Democratic challenger John Kerry for the first time this year in a Los Angeles Times poll, the newspaper reported on Wednesday in its online edition.

The survey taken Saturday through Tuesday showed that 49 percent of registered voters favored Bush, while 46 percent preferred Kerry. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Survey responses indicated that Kerry had been hurt by attacks on his Vietnam service record by Bush backers, the Times said.

In a poll taken just before the Democratic convention last month, Kerry had a 2 percentage point lead over Bush, the newspaper said.

The Times Poll interviewed 1,597 adults nationwide, including 1,352 registered voters.

Look out. Clearly, the SVFT ads are having an effect, and I think Kerry is making it worse by losing his cool. No good news has surfaced for Bush regarding the war or the economy, so I cannot think of another reason that the poll would shift. My prediction: if these ads keep airing, the 527's on the other side are going to counter with some even nastier ads against Bush.

More people support Bush in regards to the war on terror. More people supprot Kerry on the economy. The most important thing we face today is terror, which hampers the economy.

hmmm.

Plus, the 63 million dollars in negative ads coming from the left over the past year have done nothing to Bush's image.

Why would it now?

How could you conclude they had no effect? Bush has been trailing Kerry in the polls for months, and his approval rating at the beginning of August was the lowest of his presidency. How do you explain that?

Can you claim that the polls you were paying attention to were related to these negative ads?

Can you prove otherwise?
