REPUBLICANS OVERSAMPLED: NEWSWEEK TRYING TO LEAD WITH A HEADLINE NEXT POLLING CYCLE OF "SHOCKING BUSH FALL AFTER HUGE LEAD..."
This poll is BS.
I'm not buying it. No way would the lamestream media attempt something so risky as that.
There was a lot of talk pre-convention, as Bush began to build a lead, that the lamestream media was setting us up for a fall. In other words, they would build a small lead for Bush before the convention so that they could proudly declare post-convention that there was "no bounce." Instead, Bush has apparently built that 2-3 point lead into a commanding 11-12 point lead.
So much for that theory.
Then the Time poll is als BS right? Look Rassmusen has GW up by 4 today. That number reflects only 1/3 of those that have seen Bush's speech. In this(newsweek) poll those that saw GW's speech the "bounce was even greater, IN FACT the sample prior to GW's speech was only about a 5 point bounce. Now if by tomorrow when 2 out of three of the rolling samples include Bush's speech then GW should be up about 6 to 8 points and by Monday when the polling sample is truly post convention then GW may very well be up by 10 in the Rassmisan poll. I have a strong feeling that Bush really connected with his speech and both the Time and Newsweek polls are more accurate than you may think. I will wait to see Rassmusans poll tomorrow before popping the "bounce" cork.
