NEW GALLUP POLL WILL SHOW BUSH UP BY 3. BEFORE THE CONVENTION, KERRY LED BY 4.
I've heard the worst bounce in history was 7 points for a challenger. This is a -7 point 'bounce'.
Lurch, "The Almighty Nuanced-One" looks like he wet his pants.
"After our convention it should be all over."
From your lips to God's ears. I must say, I think you are right. We have a real human being running for us who loves and cares about this country over all things and actually goes to work for the American people every day.
No!!!
Gallup is the gold standard for polls. This poll is the one everyone must watch.
Yes, After the GOP Convention the President will open a 20 point lead in the polls and win by 25 points. It is all over and George W. Bush has won a Second Term!
And they are kind of right......though despite few undecideds, there should still be a small 3-5 pt. bounce.
A negative 7 bounce is not due to undecideds. It is due to people being turned off by Kerry.

Schnieder has been absolutely awful this past week. One time I heard him say that Kerry has all his states wrapped up but Bush is losing just about every battleground state.
John Kerry here, reporting for duty.(doody)
PLOP!!
Bounced right through the sidewalk into the sewer.
To be more accurate, the drop was 5 points.
Bush gained 4 after the convention, Kerry lost 1.
The TV shot of Michael Moore sitting in the prez box with former president Jimmy Carter did nothing to engender confidence in the democ'rats and the Kerry/Edwards ticket ... that was a major faux pas. Michael Moore will disappear from the Kerry/Edwards political band wagon ... guaranteed.
I say it often and proudly
"He says what he means and means what he says."
Poll: No boost for Kerry after convention
By Susan Page, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — The Democratic National Convention boosted voters' perceptions of John Kerry's leadership on critical issues, a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll finds. But it failed to give him the expected bump in the head-to-head race against President Bush.
In the survey, taken Friday and Saturday, the Democratic ticket of Kerry and John Edwards trailed the Republican ticket of Bush and Dick Cheney 50% to 46% among likely voters, with independent candidate Ralph Nader at 2%.
Before the convention, the two were essentially tied, with Kerry at 47%, Bush at 46%.
The change in support was within the poll's margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points in the sample of 763 likely voters. But it was nonetheless a stunning result, the first time in the Gallup Poll since the 1972 Democratic convention that a candidate seemed to lose ground at his convention.
USA TODAY extended its survey Sunday night and tonight to get a fuller picture of what's happening with the electorate.
A Newsweek survey taken Thursday and Friday showed the Democrats with a lead of 49% to 42%, a four-point bounce compared with a poll taken three weeks earlier — the smallest in the history of the Newsweek poll.
Analysts say the lack of a boost for Kerry may reflect the intensely polarized contest. Nearly nine of 10 voters say in the survey that they are confident they won't change their mind between now and the Nov. 2 election. That leaves little room for a candidate to gain support even when major events occur.
Bounce! Where's the bounce? We need bounce! What the **** are you people doing up there?!?
I just don't like massive generalities.
You say: "The American people don't like either one of these guys"
It is just not true. There are many Americans who love George Bush. There are many who hate him. There are a good number that can't make up their mind. They all march to different drummers.
Trying to lump them all together and get some sort of "average" is just not useful.
