· Kerry moves up his vote margin over Bush by 2 points.
· Kerry makes significant gains in personal favorability.
· Kerry made his biggest gains on likeability, giving people confidence, and having clear plans.
· Kerry won especially strongly in the swing electorate – independents, the undecided, and battleground state voters.
