a
two-way presidential trial heat, the Bush/Cheney ticket would win over a
Kerry/Edwards ticket by 54 percent vs. 43 percent among registered =
voters. In
a three-way trial heat, including Green Party Candidate Ralph Nader, the
Bush/Cheney ticket would still win 52 percent to 41 percent for =
Kerry/Edwards
and 3 percent for Nader/Camejo among registered voters. That represents =

increase since the last Newsweek Poll (July 29-30), and the first time =
it's
topped 50 percent since January. Also 53 percent of registered voters =

decisions
during an international crisis (57% vs. 44%), shares their values (54% =
vs.
42%), and is personally likeable (67% vs. 59%). In addition, more =

various
issues: terrorism and homeland security (60% vs. 32%), the situation in =
Iraq
(55% vs. 37%), foreign policy (54% vs. 38%), taxes (52% vs. 38%), =

from terrorism (45% think it has). And, among registered voters, 44 =
percent
think Saddam Hussein's regime was not directly involved in 9-11 (42% say =

registered voters say they saw none of (32%) or very little (28%) =
coverage of
the RNC on television last week. Only 40 percent say they saw some of =
it
(24%) or a great deal (16%). And only 36 percent say they now have a =
more
favorable opinion of the Republican Party, with 27 percent saying they =
have a

more

favorable opinion. And of the 45 percent of registered voters who said =
they
watched all or part of the President's speech, 37 percent said they had =
a more

As to the presidential candidates' military service, though 75 =
percent of
registered voters say what they've seen or heard about Bush's military =
service
will not have much effect on their vote, and 62 percent say the same =
about
Kerry's military service in Vietnam, 75 percent of registered voters =
