  At least, that's what urlLink some people are saying. Appearantly, according to the various polles conducted following the Democratic Convention, the Kerry campaign has seen between a 4 point boost and a 5 point loss. These, are according to the polling sources, the lowest in the history of these polls. However, as both urlLink Atrios and urlLink Kos pointed out, when you examine the internal workings of the polls, things get a bit fuzzy. Apparently, according to the urlLink USA Today poll (which reported Kerry lost 5 points since the convention), 26% of those polls gave Kerry's convention speech a favorable rating.
This is a higher approval rating than Bush's speech in 2000, which was so well recieved, it gave Bush a 17 point lead over Al Gore in the polls. It gets better. Apparently, the edge Bush held in his handling of the war on terrorism actually fell from 18% to 12%. Bush is selling the war on terrorism as the central issue of his campaign. Something strange is going on here. Wonder if the polls were tabulated by the Flordia Election Commission.
