Couple things before bed:
Zogby has Bush's approval dropping to 34%. Atrios points out the failure of the polls to meet the expectations of the pundits:
"Bush's poll numbers are perpetually going up, but somehow they never manage to rise.Patricia Todd, who prevailed in her primary runoff for a state legislative seat in Alabama, asked her opponent to drop her challenge to the election results. Birmingham Blues is keeping track of the shenanigans.
Renowned homophobe Marilyn Musgrave is facing a very tough challenge this year from Angie Paccione according to the latest polls. It would be so sweet for Musgrave to lose.
Josh Marshall has a great post that may explain why Bush's numbers aren't rising in the wake of the recent terror scare:
Is there anyone in the country who can say honestly, in their heart of hearts, that when that moment of fear hit them after the recent reports out of London, they said to themselves, "God, I'm glad we're in Iraq"?And, as predicted, the cable news channels are obsessing over the Jon Benet case. CNN, FOX and MSNBC are frenzied...so, anyone with real news, please share.
