53% Believe Bush Will Win in November
Fifty-three percent (53%) of Americans now believe that President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney will be re-elected this November. A Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 Likely Voters found that just 35% expect the Democratic ticket of John Kerry and John Edwards to emerge victorious. Those numbers have changed little over the past month. Coming out of the Republican National Convention, 52% expected the President to win. A survey conducted the night after the first Presidential Debate showed 53% still thought the President would win while 32% expected a Kerry victory.
