Matt Drudge is highlighting the headline “CBS Poll: Vets Favor Bush”. True enough. But take a closer look at how Vets feel things are going in Bush’s war by perusing the actual article<\/a> that Drudge is pointing to.<\/p>\n

For example, you’ll find that a vast majority of Vets believe that the war is going badly, that it wasn’t worth the cost, it was a mistake, the administration has no play for the June 30 handover, and that higher level military personnel (instead of just the soldiers directly involved) should be held responsible for Abu Ghraib.<\/p>\n

Drudge, no doubt, as confirmed today by Rush, is assuming that few will actually bother to look at more than just the headline.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the latest head-to-head matchup of all<\/i> registered voters, from the same CBS Poll<\/a> — not reported by Drudge — shows Kerry widening the gap and beginning to trounce Bush 49% to 41%. The more reliable Zogby Poll<\/a> has it as Kerry 47% to Bush’s 42% with undecideds (who usually end up favoring the challenger) growing and Bush sinking. The same 47%-42% numbers occur when Nader is added to the match-up as well.<\/p>\n

Zogby also shows the Bush approval rating now at an astounding 58% disapprove to 42% approve.<\/p>\n

The Bush “Presidency” is, as of this moment, 84.19% over<\/a>. Hang in there, America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
