The Gallup Poll goes on at length about how Americans view Kerry more favorably on this or that index (“strong leader,” “cares about people like me,” etc. etc.) as a result of the Democratic convention, but then Gallup reluctantly admits that among likely voters, a much more significant population, the results are the opposite: Kerry lost ground, on all indicia, during the convention. Now, since likely voters are certainly a higher-IQ contingent than people who don’t bother to vote, what that means is that Kerry only gained in esteem among low-IQ folks who are too ignorant, lazy, or indifferent to vote. This unprecedented result of a Presidential nominating convention, with the nominee losing rather than gaining ground, confirms my statement, made here during Kerry’s acceptance speech, that the speech was a “remarkable disaster.” It also confirms my moniker for him, going back to last fall: The Untalented Mr. Kerry.
listening to npr after convention they read through every category where kerry led and then mentioned he lost ground in the one category that counts. if it was bush - they would just report the bad poll numbers and go on.
If the election was held today, which would be unconstitutional, it would be Kerry 296, Bush 242. And we coming to bat.
I too am concerned with the electoral count right now, but the way the "lean" and "toss ups" are listed, leaves me believing that Bush will get more.
But... but Slate assures me that the numbers are "grim" for Bush.
DUH!
What does he expect when this is the non-voting base he panders to?

You probably meant to say, with the Bush 'bounce' following the DEMOCRAT's convention, Bush wins today at about 6-7%, or even more, in the national vote, and maybe some 320+ in the electoral. And that doesn't give him CA. I think Bush could win California.
Then again, the election isn't being held today. It's Bush's to lose, or rather Rove's. And he could be just the guy to do it. Is Michaal Reagan going to speak in prime time at the convention?
