WASHINGTON - Voters may not yet be ready to flock to challenger John Kerry, but President Bush?s continuing decline in opinion surveys ? including one released Wednesday ? is a clear warning sign for an incumbent trying to persuade the public to rehire him for four more years, pollsters say.
A new Pew Research Center poll Wednesday showed Bush?s approval rating at 44 percent, down from 48 percent a month ago and 58 percent in January. While the poll gives Kerry a 50-45 lead over Bush in a two-way race with a 2.5-point margin of error, his lead narrows to 46-43 when Ralph Nader is included.

A national survey released yesterday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press shows a wide range of word choices by those who were asked ''what one word best describes your impression" of Bush or Kerry.
In the earlier survey, 18 percent chose honest to describe Kerry, but no one used that word in the May survey. The words good, hopeful, and OK accounted for nearly 21 percent of responses for Kerry in the new poll.

Nader spokesman Kevin Zeese said the candidate welcomes the support but plans to continue running as an independent. He said Nader would decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept the Reform Party's ballot lines in each state, or try to gain ballot access through other means.http://www.afscme.org/publications/tnews.htm (for much more - they endorse Kerry, thank goodness! Nader is such a fraud...)
