New polls are coming in now. See the Kerry Spot. The race has tightened on a national basis, but Bush’s support base seems much harder than Kerry’s. Check out this Pew analysis. I’m afraid we can’t rest easy yet, though perhaps sleepless nights are unnecessary.

Looking towards Friday night’s debate…

I read something interesting today by long-time Wall Street investment strategist Don Hayes. He has some information that leads him to believe the jobs report due out Friday morning will be 75,000 higher than expected and that there will also be a significant upside revision in the August number as well. It’s in a private newsletter, otherwise I would link to it.

Could be a nice billowing out of Bush’s sails before the debate.
