Post-Convention Polls Mixed on Kerry Bounce

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - <snip>

Kerry said he wasn't paying attention.

Appearing on "Fox News Sunday" with his running mate, Sen. John Edwards, he said he remembered the polls last year that showed his presidential bid staggering.

"Polls are not what's important. What's important is what we're going to do for America," Kerry said.

"I don't read polls. I really don't. They are going to go up and down. They're going to change," he added.

Conventions are often the first time the general public tunes into a presidential race, and polls have shown many Americans are still unfamiliar with Kerry, a four-term U.S. senator, decorated Vietnam War veteran and former prosecutor.
