SurveyUSA: Momentum Shifts to Bush; Big GOP Bounce After RNC Convention
VERONA, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 2004--The number of Americans who think George W. Bush will be re-elected in November has suddenly jumped 10 to 20 points in dozens of cities around the country, according to SurveyUSA tracking polls conducted before, during and after the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.
SurveyUSA has been asking respondents not who they will vote for, but rather: who they think will win the presidential election in November. This question is more sensitive to changes in sentiment, and is designed to capture "momentum" swings more precisely than preference questions asked of likely voters. Tracking polls released today, 9/3/04, the day after the Republican National Convention ended, show sizeable swings in the public consciousness.
Examples:
-- In New York City, the number of adults who say Bush will win jumped from 39% on 7/22 (the week before the DNC) to 58% today: 19 points up for Bush, 17 points down for Kerry.
-- In Los Angeles, the number who say Bush will win jumped from 38% on 7/22 to 59% today: 21 points up for Bush, 18 points down for Kerry.
-- In Pittsburgh, Bush went from 44% to 64%: 20 points up for Bush, 19 points down for Kerry.
Each poll was conducted of an entire metropolitan area, known as a TV market, and defined by Nielsen Media Research as the "Designated Market Area" (DMA). In no metropolitan area, in any part of the country, did Kerry's numbers go up. Four separate polls of 500 adults each were conducted in 30 TV markets and in 2 states. (128 discrete pieces of opinion research; 64,000 separate telephone interviews.) Each survey has a sampling error of plus or minus 4.5%.
The polls were conducted:
-- 7/22/04: The week before the DNC
-- 7/30/04: The day after Kerry's acceptance speech
-- 8/26/04: The week before the RNC
-- 9/3/04: The day after Bush's acceptance speech.
"The Democrats are eviscerated," says Jay H. Leve, Editor of SurveyUSA. "Even in the most solidly Democratic corners of this country, a majority of adults suddenly believe that George W. Bush will win in November."
Bump
FYI, and inviting your comments. Is any of this really meaningful, or is it just eyewash?
Put Terry McLowlife on suicide watch!!!!

SurveyUSA is the nation's largest public opinion pollster. SurveyUSA does true random-sample telephone opinion polling for 50 TV stations under long-term exclusive contract. Results of these surveys are not intended to forecast the outcome of the presidential election in November nor predict how respondents would vote in an election "today"; rather, results here are intended solely to measure shifts in momentum, which can reveal much about the public's collective psyche. Momentum can and does change in a campaign, sometimes dramatically. Events may well happen during this campaign to shift momentum back to the Democrats just as suddenly as it has here shifted to the Republicans. Results presented here should not be confused with SurveyUSA Election Polls, which are conducted over a longer field period, and which tightly screen for registered and likely voters, and which do in fact ask respondents how they would vote in an election "today."

In related news, the Constipation Party Candidate put out a press release attacking the speech made by the Bush daughers.
I wonder if this is the Zell Miller backlash? -hehheheheheheh
I had to look that word up and I like it [grin].
LOL, and mine got shrunk...
Not you, Brandon.
Put the dems on suicide watch. If this is reliable (hopefully) they are history.
The better take kerry's shoelaces away from him.
He's going to be bouncing off the walls. And expect TRex to go into seclusion.
Knowing how fickle people are, this should mean little or nothing. Kerry is in control of his campaign and probably at a point in the race where he has always expected to be.
He is a great closer. He has good command of the English and French languages and it showed in how he rallied his base at the midnight rally. Expect nothing but a hard battle with Kerry not giving up one more inch of ground.
Forcing him to change his tact and talk about his dismal Senate record or to lay out his vision is our only hope.
Anything can happen in the next two months, but it's beginning to look like Kerry is toast.
