The Kerry Surge; Gallup poll

[LynnTheDem]

Prior to the Republican convention, Kerry had a one point lead among RVs (47-46) in the battleground states.

After the Republican convention, now that battleground voters have had a chance to take a closer look at what Bush and his party really stand for, Kerry leads by 5 in these same states (50-45)!

Note that Kerry gained three points among battleground voters, while Bush actually got a negative one point bounce.

And wait--there's more! The Gallup poll's internals also show that Kerry continues to lead among independents (49-46) and that both parties' partisans are equally polarized for their respective candidates (90-7)

3. This explains a lot

The Rpugs must have had data showing simular results from their own internals. Thus the effort to shut down the Kitty Kelly book, the CBS affilates censorship, Dickhead's remarks, etc., had to pushed on by their understanding of just how bad it's going for Bush.

Man, the stink of fear is in the air at 1600 Penn. Ave., and it ain't because of no Terra warning either!
