Over the last month, Bush has gained ground in all major polls except Wash Post. Somehow, while other polls show Bush gaining, their poll shows Kerry surging. I wonder how much they over sampled Dems in their poll???

Poll Dates Net Gain
CBS News & CBS/NYT 5/20-23 vs 6/23-27 Bush +7
Fox News/OpDyn 5/18-19 vs 6/22-23 Bush + 6
CNN/Gallup/USAT 5/21-23 vs. 6/21-23 Bush +3
WaPo/ABC News 5/20-23 vs 6/17-6/20 Kerry + 6
Rasmussen and Battleground polls also showed Bush gaining ground in the last month.
