Bush v Kerry 47-47
"The election is four days away and we are right back where we started, in a toss-up," pollster John Zogby said. "Kerry had a good day today."
UPDATE: But Daily News columnist Sidney Zion writes of his own post-Novak conversation with Mr Zogby, and this is what Zogby 'really' says: "It's close," he said, "but in the last couple of days things have been trending toward Kerry - nationally and in the swing states. Between this and history, I think it will be Kerry."
To keep things interesting, Zion refers to the current British betting line: "The latest line from sunny old England makes Bush, in their funny lingo, a 4-7 favorite. (Vegas would say it 7-4.) That's almost 2-to-1."
UPDATE:Hugh Hewitt: Look for uneasy Democrats to desert Kerry this weekend even as he deserted the military he wishes to command by ending his campaign ridiculing their magnificent achievement in liberating Iraq in three weeks. Every set-back he has assigned to them and their leadership up to the president. For his own self-interest, he has campaigned on denigrating their effectiveness and refusing to credit their successes from the rout of the Taliban, to the securing of the Afghan vote, to the suppression of the insurgency in Najaf and the looming battle to crush the Fallujah terror hub.
