Here’s the Washington Post’s analysis of the latest presidential election poll:

Bush’s relentless attacks on Kerry have badly damaged the Democratic nominee, the survey and interviews showed. Voters routinely describe Kerry as wishy-washy, as a flip-flopper and as a candidate they are not sure they can trust, almost as if they are reading from Bush campaign ad scripts. But Kerry’s problems are also partly of his own making.

Yes, the mainstream media continues to believe that Bush’s support comes from human-like creatures who have emerged from pods and mindlessly follow their leader, while Kerry can’t possibly bear full responsibility for those who don’t understand his message.
