Bush loses bounce

“Lastly, what exactly is the real state of the race right now? Is it really a double-digit campaign-crippling deficit as Time and Newsweek tell us, or is it much smaller, as Rasmussen of all people says it is. Note that Rasmussen’s daily tracking poll for today, which includes two days of post-convention results, shows not only that Bush is ahead of Kerry by only 1.2% (47.6% to 46.4%), but that Bush’s numbers have already fallen from yesterday while Kerry has shot up nearly 2%. And take a close look at what Rasmussen was reporting for Bush before the convention (47%) and what he is reporting for Bush now (48%), compared to Kerry who Rasmussen had at 46% at both times. So exactly what is the bounce and is Kerry really tanking?”
