May 7

With both defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his boss under increasing pressure, President Bush resumes his bus tour in the midwest today, as new poll numbers show his support slipping.

However, the White House would argue, the recent bad news from Iraq hasn't given John Kerry a significant boost either - the two men appear tied at 47 per cent, indicating the polarised nature of the country.

What might be most interesting about the latest poll, though, is that nearly two-thirds of those surveyed now say they're taking "a close interest" in the campaign. With six months still to go, there are concerns in both camps that their man has much to do.

Meanwhile, Teresa Heinz Kerry is to appear on 20/20 with Barbara Walters tonight.
