George W. Bush may not be faring as well in the polls as he'd like.
But a lot can go right for him in the next five months

June 1 - Most polls put John Kerry in a statistical dead heat with
George W. Bush. But the Democratic campaign likes to pick out the
surveys that give their candidate a slight edge, saying that no other
challenger in the last half-century has been faring so well at this
stage of the race. Since that last early-surging challenger was Thomas
Dewey, this may not be the best of role models for Kerry's aides. The
more obvious comparison is Jimmy Carter, who held a slender lead over
President Gerald Ford early in 1976. That's a comparison that should
be familiar to at least two people in the Bush cabinet: Vice-president
***** Cheney was chief of staff and Donald Rumsfeld was Defense
secretary in the Ford administration. Whatever the analogy, there's
plenty of time for Kerry to lose his slim lead in the polls. Here's a
look at what can go right for George W. Bush over the next five
months.
