Kids today feel safer than they did five years ago? Did the pollsters feed the data into the wrong hole? These are the questions no doubt running through the minds of parents and educators as they mull the counterintuitive results of a New York Times/CBS poll, released Wednesday, which shows that the vast majority of American teenagers feel somewhat safe, safe or extremely safe in their schools. In 1994, 40 percent of teenagers worried they would be a victim of violence in school or on the street. Today, only 24 percent fear for their safety. (The results are virtually identical...
...chide conservatives and woo moderates without losing his right flank. But he knows the primaries aren't over. The only rival gaining on him is Senator John McCain: in New Hampshire he has picked up 13 points in a month, standing at 23% to Bush's 43% in one poll. But McCain is even more critical of the G.O.P. than Bush, so Bush's words could conceivably help him fend off McCain. Forbes will label Bush a closet tax-and-spend liberal in a massive TV assault set to begin late this year, and Bush is preparing for the attack...
...love me. The guy who picks up the bus at the Port Authority, gets $50 in chips and a ticket for the all-you-can-eat buffet and takes the missus to the Trump Taj Mahal, he loves me," says Trump. He takes further comfort in a National Enquirer poll that shows him at the front of the pack...
...embarrass Pataki, who is thought to be positioning himself as Bush's running mate and from whom Molinari has long been estranged. But Molinari's decision can also be seen as a sign that Bush's vague "compassionate conservative" campaign lacks substance, a view supported by a recent Reuters/Zogby poll, which found that only 39 percent of Republican primary voters said they knew enough about Bush to nominate him. Meanwhile, McCain, who has attached his flag firmly to the issue of campaign-finance reform, appears to be gathering some steam ? recent polls give him 21 percent support among primary voters...
...Donald, however, should take heart from other figures' results in the poll. While 23 percent take Trump seriously as a potential politician, only 13 percent of voters have a favorable opinion of possible presidential candidate Warren "Bulworth" Beatty, while sometimes-touted political aspirants Oprah Winfrey and Cybill Shepard garner just 16 percent and 6 percent, respectively. As Bill Bradley and, earlier, Ronald Reagan have proved, you first have to make voters think of you as a politician before they'll take an actor or a sportsman seriously as a potential tenant of the White House...
