CNN/USA/Gallup: Bush Got Bounce From Dem Convention

[John Ashcroft]

The first poll taken after the Democratic convention shows a significant bounce - for the Bush-Cheney ticket.

A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Sunday shows that among likely voters, President Bush reaped a 5-point bounce from the Democratic confab, and he now leads Sen. Kerry, 50 percent to 47 percent.

The new numbers represent a sharp reversal from a July 19-21 CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey, which had Kerry leading Bush by two points, 49 percent to 47 percent.
Even among registered voters - a group that typically trends more Democratic than likely voters - Bush picked up a 1-point bounce. The CNN/USA/Today poll of registered voters has Kerry now leading Bush by 3 points, 50 percent to 47 percent. In the earlier survey, Kerry led Bush by 4 points, 49 percent to 45 percent.

Commenting on the negative bounce for the Kerry-Edwards ticket, dejected CNN political analyst Bill Schneider said Sunday, "The convention rallied voters, but it rallied Republicans more than Democrats."

"All those questioned were questioned after John Kerry's acceptance speech," lamented CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

Sounds about right.

Actually, I checked usatoday.com.

Those are the correct numbers.

Did anybody think Kerry's speech, which put my swing-voter wife to sleep, was going to spike his numbers?

Better luck in '08, when Hillary runs...

If those numbers are accurate, the only chance Kerry has is for Bush to screw things up.

Hillary Clinton probably orgasmed after reading the numbers ;)

You said "POLL"

As things improve here and in Iraq, the fickle voters will choose in favor of the incumbent rather than the candidate. Also, the voter turnout for democrats is very low in comparison to republicans.
