Reality Gap Widens
The new CBS/NYT poll shows the race dead even, and Bush's approval rating at 44% ("dangerously low for an incumbent," as the CW goes). But what I found particuarly illuminating was this paragraph buried almost at the end:

On Iraq, Americans no longer see the war as Mr. Bush does. A majority now say the war is either a minor part of the war on terrorism or no part at all. Only 37 percent say the war in Iraq is a major part of the war on terrorism.
