The apparent decision to refrain from confrontation over the war on terror and Iraq came as a series of opinion polls showed Kerry losing ground to Bush on national security issues as fears of a new terrorist strike on US soil and escalating violence in Iraq have prompted Americans to rally around their commander-in-chief.

What's more, the Washington Post-ABC News poll indicated that 58 per cent versus 37 per cent of Americans trusted Bush to do a better job than Kerry on terrorism, and 52 per cent versus 41 per cent believed the sitting president would handle Iraq better.
