...HUNT. So uncommitted debate viewers were probably surprised by what they saw for themselves: a TIME poll found that after the first debate, Kerry's favorability ratings actually surpassed the President's. By 5 points, voters found Kerry more likable than Bush, even as they viewed Bush as more steadfast.

However, a great deal of focus on a few athletes’ ability to take advantage of the system undermines the accomplishments of clean athletes—whose hard work and steadfast discipline yield substantial performance improvements.

Bush has polarized the U.S. into camps of those who love the President - who believe that, since Sept. 11, 2001, he has shown steadfast leadership at a time of great peril - and those who hate him - who believe that his Administration has been dangerously mendacious and driven by ideology, and who regard the war in Iraq as a diversion from more pressing targets in the struggle against terrorism.
