CNN Reports Negative Bounce for Kerry Among Likely Voters [DNC on suicide watch]

CNN | 08/01/04 | CNN - Wolf Blitzer

I was preparing to call it the nanobounce, but Kerry couldn't even accomplish that. He actually went down. LOL

One would never guess this from the media coverage. They have been wearing out their arms trying to polish this turd.

ABC has George Stephanopolis(sp?) and a second correspondent are both riding with the Kerry/Edwards post convention bus tour. Last night on ABC's evening news both of them reported in with glowing suck-up pieces, George doing an interview with the principal perp. No bias here ... it has gone beyond that, they should be on the Kerry/Edwards payroll. Perhaps they are ...

For consistency, these results are all among registered voters. 1992-2000 polls are from ABC News; 1968-88 polls are by Gallup. Earlier polls weren't done frequently enough to track the convention bounce reliably.

A negative bounce. That's a coy way of saying he crashed and burned.

Has Al Gore endorsed Kerry yet?

[qam1]

It's appearing on USA Today's website

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/president/2004-08-01-poll-kerry_x.htm

The same "The Country is polarized" B.S.

My guess is, It will appear on the bottom of page 23 tomorrow

The dreaded anvil bounce?

Or the Wile E. Coyote bounce.

What happened with the Marines at Wendys? I have had all four of my grandchildren for their vacation at the lake and missed this story......could someone fill me in?

I think this will stick. It could be an outlier, but even Rasmussen's bounce was delayed, more likely that Ras. is an outlier.

Murdoch is ALL about making money. Think of his tabloid, N.Y. Post! And Sky News started out an objective news source, never consrvative but certainly not blatantly liberal as it is now. We missed it when we returned to the U.S. after 2 years overseas during the Clinton years. Now it's just like all the rest of them, as Fox is quickly becoming too.

Based upon your fine table, Kerry has joined the elite club, previously solely occupied by McGovern.

McGovern and now the ONLY democrats to earn a negative bounce from their own conventions.

I hope that isn't the last thing they have incommon.

I'd like to propose calling it he "Reporting for Doody" bounce.

The double dipper of TeRAYsa and the Reverend Al was a bit much for MOST of America.

WOW!!! I love this result!!! Have been hating Bush's Gallup results for some time but this one is HUGE. Where's that 15 point Kerry bounce expected by the Bush side?? The convention was the best chance to get undecided voters to love Kerry before the election and they blew it bigtime!! Even Spielberg and Moore couldn't do it with their fluffy and lying documentaries.

The tide has turned. I think we are starting to feel the current towards the President now!!

Drudge has transcript of cnn report, but does anyone have original documentation of poll, ie link to cnn or usa today or gallup? This is a killer story, but needs to be documented.
