A recent Gallup Poll shows some interesting points that should not be discounted for the 2004 election cycle:

“PRINCETON, NJ — Overwhelmingly, Americans view international terrorism and the possible spread of weapons of mass destruction as the two most critical threats facing this country, according to a recent Gallup survey. Further down the list of threats to the country is the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, followed by Islamic fundamentalism, possibly high levels of immigration, the conflict between North and South Korea, and economic competition from low-wage countries. Conflicts in Asia, as well as the military power of China and Russia, are viewed with less concern.”

By the figures in the report, one can say with some certainty that the election is President Bush’s to lose.
