Polls: Gore Jumps, Biggest Bounce in 40 Years

Tracking poll suggests Bush getting a bounce from convention

The "Gore jump" was:

Forty-seven percent of likely voters said they would vote for Vice President Gore and Conn. Sen. Joe Lieberman, compared to 46 percent of those who picked Texas Gov. George W. Bush and former Defense secretary Dick Cheney.

It's way past time for the Bush team to pull out all the stops. They sat on their hands, while the Democrats were bashing Bush about Iraq for a year, doing a great deal of damage to Bush's ratings and poll numbers. The Bush team said, they really will get with the program, after there is a Dem nominee -- well, Kerry has been around pounding Bush for several months now, and the Bush team only makes a few feeble attemps, they mostly react, instead of really going on the offensive. Where were they, why didn't they change the topic, while the two months long Abu Ghraib was on the front pages for two months?

Now they are telling us that they will continue to sit on their hands, while Kerry is going to get a 15 point boost?

Do you really think that with the divided electorate, if Kerry gets that kind of a boost, Bush will be able to close it and actually win?

I am one of Bush's most ardent supporters, I want him to win, I dread a Kerry presidency.

The Bush team better get very strong and proactive not soon, but right now. If they aren't willing, Bush should fire the lot of them and get some people with some fire in them.
