Associated Press say's unnamed Dem beats Bush 49-44(registered voters)
By WILL LESTER
.c The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats match up well against President Bush in a new poll that highlights his vulnerability on Iraq and the economy.

The ABC News-Washington Post poll found that 49 percent of registered voters would support an unnamed Democrat and 44 percent would support Bush in a head-to-head matchup. In April, Bush led such a Democratic candidate by 13 points; in August, he led by 8 points.

Bush trailed among independents by 6 points and among moderates by 14 points. He trailed among elderly people by 8 points.

1. Now that's the kind of poll
I like to see. And I think it means a heck of a lot more than any of the polls showing Dean beating Kerry or Clark over Kucinich or any such right now.

Let's just all make it through the primary season and rally behind our nominee.

4. Amen
The most important thing is beating Bush, in my opinion. I think all of our candidates are pretty close ideologically (most of them, anyway), and they're all better than Bush.

Max Clelland by umpteen points (sorry # escapes me) in Georgia. I find the poll encouraging but am still scared of vote manipulation.

edit for spelling

3. Well, who is everyone for:
Unnamed Democrat, or Generic Democrat? It looks to me that Unnamed is doing better of late.
