Poll: No boost for Kerry after convention
By Susan Page, USA TODAY


WASHINGTON - The Democratic National Convention boosted voters' perceptions
of John Kerry's leadership on critical issues, a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll
finds. But it failed to give him the expected bump in the head-to-head race
against President Bush.
In the survey, taken Friday and Saturday, the Democratic ticket of Kerry and
John Edwards trailed the Republican ticket of Bush and Dick Cheney 50% to
46% among likely voters, with independent candidate Ralph Nader at 2%.


As most voters already have decided, no one in the Democratic Party
expected a bump of more than five points. Expectations for a bigger bump
was GOP and media smoke, nothing more. These national polls are mildly
interesting, but I'm watching the state polls.

Remember, if Bush loses ONE serious state he carried or was given in
2000, and if Kerry holds all the Gore states, Bush loses. And all the
state polls show Kerry leading in EC votes.

Them's all that seem to matter, eh?

No matter how many times you repeat it, it still doesn't become the truth:
Arkansas wasn't *given* to Bush...Gore lost it.
