Bush still on top

according to an Associated Press poll Bush still has lead over Kerry even WITH Edwards as running mate.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Bush has opened a slight lead over John Kerry while regaining the confidence of some voters on the economy and other domestic issues, according to an Associated Press poll with a silver lining for Democrats.

The addition of Sen. John Edwards to Kerry’s ticket appears to have helped the Democrat in the South and among low-income voters – a result the Massachusetts senator had hoped for when he selected the North Carolina populist over more seasoned politicians.

Voters said they were feeling better about the economy and no worse about Iraq, a sign that Bush may be regaining his political footing just as Democrats make a high-profile push toward their nominating convention in late July.

Of course it is predicted that Kerry will get a bump from his DNC party; however, it appears that it will all be down hill (as in his ratings) for Mr. Kerry and President Bush will end up winning the election.

The real question is how sure is Kerry? Will he be running for President AND Senate? What about Edwards, will he also be running w/ Kerry and for the Senate?

I don’t know, only time will tell.
