Fox News poll: Bush leads by 7%

If you look back on the history of the Fox News poll, they’ve always been a little lower for President Bush when compared to other major polls. So the brand-new poll today is a welcome shift (Adobe Acrobat req.) Some key stats (all are likely voters):

All likely voters - 49%-42%-2% Bush-Kerry-Nader
All likely voters - 48%-43% Bush-Kerry
Independents – 51%-33% Bush-Kerry
Men – 49%-42% Bush-Kerry
Womean – 47%-43% Bush-Kerry

Most important issue: 48%-39% National security – Economy
Would more aggressively fight the war on terrorism: 61%-25% Bush – Kerry

Woooo! Numbers!

I'm worried about you, V.P. This thing you have for all the poll updates, it's like an addiction to porn. At first, the numbers catch your eye, sure. Just as they would for anybody. But soon you're not feeling the same [i]zing[/i]. "48 to 46" leaves you limp, wanting.... more. That's when you have to delve a little deeper, get a little kinkier. Before you know it, you're into the fetish category ("History of the Fox news poll"? "Would more aggressively fight..."?).

I know, you think you're handling it well. But what happens when you sneak away from your beautiful wife and children, to click on Rasmussen "just to check something for a minute"? When you pinpoint and fixate on specific flaws in the body of Zogby's methodology? When you bookmark certain "special favorites" to click on again, and again.... and again? When the washed-out face of Ralph Nader brings you intense pleasure?

You've got a red-and-blue monkey on your back, man. Consider this an intervention.
