Mary K. Ham offers these brief remarks regarding the recent shift in momentum (which the MSM isn't talking about). Excerpt: Bush job approval: 43%, up from 40 (Registered Voters) Generic Likely Voter, Dem +6 (down from Dem +14) Right Track/Wrong Track (RV): 39/59, up from 32/66 Who do you trust on Iraq (RV)?
