Which is it? I personally think the pollsters are trying their darndest to give him a bounce, whether there actually was one or not.
Read the initial post. It is a 7 point negative bounce, just as posted in the article. The title was sarcastic.

Or else 10% of the electorate was so impressed by the Convention that they changed their affiliation from Independent to Democrat.
Hey, it could happen....
The Newsweek polled "adults of voting age" whereas Gallup polled registered and likely voters. This could get even better next week as the conventional wisdom is that Republicans are often not available for weekend polls.
"What is this? The day after the dem convention - no bounce. Yesterday, Newsweek has a 4 point bounce. I just saw an article posted saying CNN has a "negative" bounce. And now, you post a 7 point bounce." If CNN is saying it is a negative bounce.....then it is worse. A nightmare for the Demos!
I worked the Republican booth at a county fair last week.
Lots of action from Pro-Bushers. The few Demos that came by only expressed hatred of Bush, but not one could say anything positive about Kerry. I suspect the Demo "faithful" just will not vote. (Fine by me!)
For the MSM, talking about Kerry's negative bounce is preferable to mention of the fact that he's refusing to disclose his RAISE YOUR TAXES economic plan before he's elected. The former can be pooh poohed as snapshot statistics, and you'd get different numbers tomorrow. But the latter would have RATS dialing for a mortician.
