Zogby: ZERO Bounce for Kerry

A Zogby poll taken while the four-day Democratic Convention was underway shows that the Kerry Edwards ticket has failed to add even a single percentage point to its support.

The poll of 1,001 likely voters conducted Monday through Thursday found that 48 percent support the Kerry Edwards ticket - the exact same number that backed the Massachusetts Democrat in a July 6-7 survey.

The only good news for the presidential hopeful came in the category of undecideds, which had grown to eight points in the latest survey, up from five points in the earlier sample. The latest Zogby numbers show Kerry Edwards leading Bush Cheney 48 to 43 percent. Support for Bush Cheney in the previous sample was 46 percent.

Please pay attention: John Kerry did NOT volunteer to go to Vietnam; he tried to get his draft board to let him go to France for one year after he graduated from college; when they turned him down, he joined the Navy BEFORE the Army drafted him.

No, no! He said "Send Me, Send Me" (subliminal injection of a Christian hymn into the discussion). Bill Clinton told me so.

I was wondering when a poll would show up

I think he predicted a Gore win in 2000 so I'm not sure he is credible.

Uh, if about 300 Bush voters had voted for Gore in Florida, Zogby would have been right. I don't see how his predicting a Gore win would have made him a partisan shill. Really, we have to stop attacking pollsters just because we don't like their results.

That said, Zogby is a Democratic shill, but for other reasons.

"Nothing for the Breck girl - nothing from a week long convention. Just wait until folks actually get to know them!"

Excellent news, but you could sorta see this one coming with the abysmal ratings the Convention drew. Kerry/Edwards simply aren't that desirable of a team!!

That's why GW should be re-elected based on his short and to the point speeches. .

"Actually, I think it's too early for the bounce. We will probably see it next week."

Yup. The Press Poodles need to puff it for a few days to get maximum effect. Especially with a dead horse like Kerry.

Sorry. Kerry gets a negative bounce. Let's call it a drowning. Thank goodness this dem gang can't shoot straight.

Poll was still run during the convention so numbers are not going to show true "reflection" of voters thoughts on Kerry. Watch the numbers this week. Early after convention polls are showing Kerry losing support (up to 5 percentage points in some polls) and I think it will show a worse drop after the weekend. Also this isn't the worse Kerry will see, wait to the drop he experiences after the 1st debate!

I agree that after the debated both Presidential and VP.. that will be the true indicator. If the DNC was any preview of what Kerry and Edwards are going to be like in a debate. It is going to be a blood bath, and landslide for the GOP.(At least I hope so.)
