USA Today reports that Kerry not only did not get a "bounce" in the polls from the Democratic convention, but he LOST GROUND to Pres. Bush. The pollster = Gallup, sponsored by USA Today and CNN. Here's the key result:
In the survey, taken Friday and Saturday, Bush led Kerry 50%-46% among likely voters. Independent candidate Ralph Nader was at 2%.
The survey showed Kerry losing 1 percentage point and Bush gaining 4 percentage points from a poll taken the week before the Boston convention.
The results are within the margin of error, but a no-bounce Democratic convention had not occurred since 1972.
AND AN UPDATE ON THE NEWSWEEK POLL that showed a (very, very, very, very) modest bounce for Kerry: it was over-weighted with Democrats!
Hat-tip: Man Without Qualities.
