Times/CBS poll show Bush ratings down
NEW YORK, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Democratic voters held a 2 point edge over those who would vote for President Bush if the U.S. election were held now, a CBS/New York Times poll said.
The poll published Saturday found that 45 percent of voters said they would vote for a still unspecified Democratic candidate and 43 percent would vote for President Bush.
Late last month, the president held a 49 percent to 40 percent edge. The standing now is similar to what it was in November 2003, before the capture of Saddam Hussein.
The poll was conducted among a nationwide random sample of 1022 adults, interviewed by telephone between Jan. 12 and Jan. 15.
Much of this sentiment seems already locked in place, suggesting the coming year could see a tight struggle for undecided voters: 63 percent say their mind is already made up, while 36 percent say it is too soon to say for sure.
A CBS/New York Times poll also shows the president's approval rating is down to 50 percent, matching his lowest level ever, along with the largest percentage ever, 45 percent, disapproving his performance.

He's gone.
Although I still maintain my prediction that OSAMA BIN LADEN, will be magically found around election time.
