Did you all see the Newsweek poll from last week (the second poll listed here)? Here's the shocker:

"In general, would you like to see George W. Bush reelected to another term as president, or not?"

Yes: 47%

No: 46%

Don't Know: 7%

In early May, "yes" beat "no" 51% - 38%.

That's a hell of a drop.

And the Dems are within shouting distance of the incumbent -- Bush beats Kerry 50% - 42%, Gephardt 51% - 42%, Edwards 51% - 39%, Lieberman 52% - 39%, Dean 53% - 38%. Those are very closable gaps.

Dare we hope?
