I know this was posted before, but I want everyone to see it.

1. What a crock!

Why do they do this crap? They say there is no bounce after Kerry's speech and they conduct the poll before his speech-- this is truly ridiculous!

2. LOL, how ridiculous is that? (nt)

3. Frankly both polls are ridiculous

Both of the big polls being reported (big movement toward Kerry and small movement away) had half of their data points from before Kerry's speech as well as other questionable methodology.

I think they were aimed more at creating a story than reporting on reality. We need to watch the totality of the polls over the next week or so.

6. Looks like ..

Looks like CNN finally has the demographics they have longed for .Republicans.

Commenting on the negative bounce for the Kerry Edwards ticket, dejected CNN political analyst Bill Schnieder said Sunday, "The convention rallied voters, but it rallied Republicans more than Democrats."

"All those questioned, were questioned after John Kerry's acceptance speech," lamented CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
