No bounce for Kerry...

[ltdiver 3]

While most political conventions produce a direct rise in the polls for their candidate, Kerry has yet to see this happen since his acceptance of his nomination....

No Bounce for Kerry as reported on CNN.

Was he already so high in the polls that no bounce was needed?

It will be interesting to see what the next round of polls show. (Much of the polling for this poll was done before his acceptance speech.) I suspect they still won't show much; a bounce usually follows a convention where a previously-little-known candidate makes his first big public splash, and Kerry's been trying to make a splash for a while now with the early selection of Edwards and all.

Negative. It was done after.

Nice try though. Keep living in denial.

Your first statement might be correct. However, why do you have to follow-up with nasty remarks?

Yeah, they were right around exactly even before the convention. The polls showed the same right after.

From MSNBC:
-------------------------------------
July 31 - Coming out of the Democratic National Convention in Boston, Sen. John Kerry now holds a seven-point lead over President George W. Bush (49 percent to 42 percent) in a three-way race with independent Ralph Nader (3 percent), according to the latest NEWSWEEK poll The poll was taken over two nights, both before and after Kerry's acceptance speech. . . .

Kerry’s four-point “bounce” is the smallest in the history of the NEWSWEEK poll.

In each case, the difference between the two men was less than the margin of error, making the results a statistical tie.

I saw Rasmussen (sorry I forget his first name) on the O'Reilly factor tonight. Despite the dead heat right now, he predicted that in mid-September one of the candidates will take a strong lead. He said it all depends on the situation in Iraq. He predicts that it will not be a close race, but stopped short of saying who he thought would win.
