Everyone wanted to know what the Boston Bump would be we have the answer:
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.The headline is an understatement. Bush got a 4 point bump after the convention.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%.
Before the convention, the two were essentially tied, with Kerry at 47%, Bush at 46%.
Man, I can't wait for the debates.
