1. USA Today told me that Kerry was behind and that he had no chance

They had this in big, bold letters on the front page today.

Forget about all of the other polls that show Kerry ahead and gaining more post convention. USA Today/Gallop has the pulse of America firmly under finger.

July31

I understand USA Today was continuing the polling over Sat and Sunday - do we have revised numbers?
