I have some partisan comment about the Iraq opinion poll, but I'm just gonna keep it to myself.
That Fox News poll apparently lets undecideds remain undecided.
CNN/USA Today polled during roughly the same period. Unlike Fox, they pushed voters to indicate which way they were leaning.
That turns the horse race into a deadheat, with or without Nader:

Also, keep in mind, these national horse race polls ignore the Electoral College. From what people are saying, Kerry is doing pretty well in swing states.
I posted the war poll because it represents the culmination of a long slow slide in support for the war in Iraq.
My guess: Short of something dramatic -- such as the capture of Osama bin Laden -- a majority of Americans will remain opposed to the war in Iraq war through November.
With that the case, look for Republicans to start bashing the media even harder than they normally do.
