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

[Lunatic Fringe]

HA! Dem operatives after the speech last night claimed they got a sneak peak at the Zogby poll, showing a 5-10 point bounce.

DEAD CAT BOUNCE!

[TomServo]

If more people knew he served in 'Nam - it could turn things around for him.

[wagglebee]

The whole thing was a joke. The ketchup boy will be lucky if he doesn't lose ground.

[AmericanMade1776]

I am surprised John Kerry did not go into negative territory. I can just see all the Democrats at the Convention listening to Kerry for 55 minutes, looking at their watches,and thinking.....GOD SAVE US! What have we done! To think that we might have to listen to another 55 minute speech of John Kerry in a presidential address, or state of the union. HELP , HELP, SAVE US FROM THE KING OF BOREDOM.

[PianoMan]

This title is misleading. Zogby didn't report that Kerry got zero bounce. This is NewsMax spin and shouldn't be in Breaking.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

Great news!

[Ed_in_NJ]

THAT MUCH?

HA! HA!

[cripplecreek]

It's a bit early to tell but i think a bounce of 2% to 5% is about all he'll get.

It's a good thing the republican convention is later, the presidents speeches tend to lead to much larger bounces in the polls.

[Viet-Boat-Rider]

No DNC Convention bounce? Kerry is screwed! Hay, have you donated to your favorite candidate's campaign lately? Send in a few bucks, liberty is not free. Go to www.GOP.com/Membership2004 and help President Bush defeat Kerry.

[Paradox]

Folks, DON'T BELIEVE this for a minute!

You cannot access any bounce until all the poll data is taken AFTER the final speech. In the opinion of many objective Freepers, it was probably "good enough" to sway many "swing" voters (who by definition are pretty dumb and/or gullible). Mark my words, there WILL be a significant bounc! I predict a 7 point bounce, who knows, maybe 10. I don't think it will last however, especially once the GOP convention finishes. However, there probably WILL be at least SOME measurable bounce. Thats my call, and I am not some gloomy pessimist.

[cardinal4]

Well, of course there will be something, boobs bounce, dont they?

[gopwinsin04]

This is stunning news if it holds. Clinton had something like an 18 point bounce in 1992..

[The Raven]

The pollsters were all wrong in the 2002 Replublican win

[Brandon]

This poll also shows Kerry/Edwards leading by two points in the south. As Dales remarked on his blog, that's all you need to know about this one.

Isn't Zogby a democratic shill? I think he predicted a Gore win in 2000 so I'm not sure he is credible. Plus, he's an arab so its likely his sympathies lie with Kerry, and he's trying his best to sabotage the Bush campaign. I wouldn't believe a word he says.

[alancarp]

Somebody on the GOP side needs to simply point out that we're glad to finally have the Democrats on board now with the idea of supporting homeland security, national defense, and the War on Terrorism. I know it may come as a shock to them (especially AWOL Senators Kerry and Edwards), but that's the business that this country has been about since late 2001.

So since the DEMs are proposing things that we're already doing, why change Presidents?

[1Old Pro]

What a horrible convention. I'd be surprised if he gets more than a 3 point post convention bounce and he'll quickly lose that and another 5-10.

[b4its2late]

It is kind of tough to get a bounce when no one watches it.

[Americanwolf]

well looks like you got it.... no bounce for the convention. not even a single percentage.
