Rasmussen Reports now sees the presidential race as even money between President Bush and Sen. Kerry: 45 percent to 45 percent with 3 percent favoring "another candidate."

Kerry was actually leading in the race for a few days, while he was on vacation. Since he's been back campaigning he's lost three points in the polls while President Bush gained back a point. The less Kerry speaks, the better he does - according to the polls, anyway.

Look for Kerry's campaign to pick up another point or two this week, as the senator and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee takes another four-day hiatus - this time for minor surgery to his shoulder.
