Finally Newsweek does something right...

I've been waiting for the ost-debate polls to come out with some trepidition. While the consensus, even in the right-wing fantasy world of Bush-loving Muslim-hating Flintheart Glumgolds, has been that Kerry anihilated Bush , I've still been somewhat unsure of how the polling numbers will look a few days out. Especially considering all the bad polling methods being followed out there.

Now I've already posted yesterday about the polls that reflect the question of who won the debates. It was clear that Kerry won across the board. But the true question to be concerned with is the horse race in the light of this decisive victory. The first poll out is Newsweek's and it brings with it good tidings. And chocolates and flowers.

John Kerry now leads President Bush 49% to 46%. That's a 3 point lead. The same lead that Bush was showing over Kerry in many polls just days ago that had the media ready to declare a second Bush term. This is the first poll to suggest a Kerry lead in weeks. I'd call that a major change in the momentum of this election.

Let's just hope that the Kerry camp doesn't get as cocky and arrogant as Bush revealed imself to be Thursday night. They still have a month to go in this election, with 3 debates (counting Vice-Prez) to go. A lot can happen. They just need to keep up the good work and hammer Bush again and again.

And I think that will be a little easier to show in the debates on domestic policies. Because Bush doesn't have a leg to stand on. They only trouble might be in picking which issues to attack on.
