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

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

[vbmoneyspender]

CNN is reporting that among likely voters Bush's numbers went up with Bush getting 50% and Kerry 47%. The poll was done after the convention. This means Kerry got a negative bounce.

[vbmoneyspender]

Could you change to title so that it reads negative bounce for Kerry. Thanks.

[lavrenti]

Rephrase title, please.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Shouldn't the title be a negative bounce for Kerry?

[Cableguy]

It was 49 for Kerry and 47 for Bush a week ago. That means Kerry dropped 3 points! The more they see Kerry, the more they don't like him.

[GROOVY]

Wow, great news!!!

Can this go into breaking news?

[Petronski]

That headline is a train wreck. Did Bush's negatives bounce? Is their latest poll Bush 50 Kerry 47? That's not a negative bounce for Bush, but a negative bounce for Kerry.


I'm confused.

All things considered, I see nothing negative in Presidnet Bush getting more votes that Senator Kerry.

[USNBandit]

One thing I find interesting is that while all the polls are all over the place a consistant majority thing Bush will win.

[Pokey78]

The dreaded anvil bounce?

[USNBandit]

A consistant majority think Bush will win.

[TYVets]

"Shouldn't the title be a negative bounce for Kerry?"

CNN can not put positive and Bush in the same sentence.

Their policy ,,,

Anyone wanna start guessing at what the spin will be?

I predict that they'll claim that people have been paying more attention to this election, so they didn't need the convention to get to know Kerry.

(yes, I know that there are many factual problems with that claim- that won't stop them)

[skinkinthegrass]

Wow, great news!!!..Can this go into breaking news?

This can't be...I thought "Hanoi" John F'n KERRY/John "Sweetie Pie" Edwards had IT ALL sewn-up already.

seriously, folks...for CNN to admit this so early after the Boston CONNfest, it sounds like an ploy to put us to sleep. :))

[GROOVY]

What did they expect after highlighting Kennedy, Carter and Clinton. Also goes to show there may be truth to the statement that the more people see of Kerry the worse he does.

Chilling. The champagne, that is.

[finnman69]

HOLY shiat THIS is FABULOUS news.

[savedbygrace]

Kerry's in McGovern territory with a neg 3 bounce.

As I've posted here before, this is a Dead Hamster Bounce.
