Just a little blast from the past to demonstrate that we're in good shape in 2008 relatively speaking.

Abstract (Summary)
Bush leads John Kerry by 8 percentage points among likely voters in the latest USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll. Among all registered voters, Bush's lead widened to 11 points. The margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points. In the poll, taken last Friday through Sunday, Bush was at 52 percent among likely voters, Kerry at 44 percent and at 3 percent. Among registered voters, Bush had 53 percent, Kerry 42 percent and Nader 3 percent.

4. But it's also a good sign that we can't get cocky.

As this also shows that eight point leads can evaporate.
