Kerry got his bounce in 2004 ... and went on to lose.
Barry will get his bounce too. No reason to panic.
Carry on.
Kerry’s bounce was only 4pts though he was up 49% to 42% (Newsweek data) following the convention.
Sure would be nice to see McCain up by 5+ after the GOP convention (fingers crossed).
John Kerry never got a post-convention bounce:
