Wow! Just mentioned by Judy Woodruff. Looking for original source.
Holy big bounce Batman!
and she said that it was finished before he spoke so it is probably going to be even more
Was Judy able to announce this without any visible signs of distress?
She mentioned that the poll was conducted Tuesday-Thursday, prior to W's powerful acceptance speech.
Crying. Woodruff had to be crying..
Judy Woodruff must have had a sour face when she said this (well, you know, more than the usual).
Here is the link to Time Poll
the camera probably could not film what the floor looked like under her desk...
Amazing, from CNN too!!!
No wonder they're all going nuts, bring out the slime machine, getting drunk etc...Or maybe they're just being Democrats! (Wait...I used to be a Dem, in my lost youth! Oh, well, we all make mistakes..).

So this is just the Zell Miller bounce!
bet she passed a kidney stone after she read this.
That's gunna leave a mark
Kerry's own polling has to have shown him this...that's why he's got over the bend.
DUers are freaking out!
In fairness, yes. She prefaced announcement by saying, "in news that is sure to please supporters of President Bush . . . "
You got that right, Judy babe!
he he he,
I just love it.
I see my Pepto Bismol stocks goin' through the roof.
WHOA NELLIE!
CNN? TIME? Before the acceptance speech? No way! Is it?
great! How can we get them to move the election up to this Tuesday!
Wow. DU must be underwater.
I heard she's actually taken to eating.
ALERT: Death watch at DU....
When I watched Kerry make a fool of himself with
Edwards last night, I said to the lovely Mrs. Theknow, I think someone has seen the internal polls and is taking some extra strength pain medication; three fingers at a time.
She had a "deeply-saddened" look on her face.
Thanks for link!
HEH HEH they are. Pissed off to the Max!
MUAHAHAHAHA!

Note the pro-Bush movement on many issues. How much of this is due to the convention? Beats me. Given the dates involved, I'd say not all of it.

There is still a long way to go in this campaign..... I still expect to Kerry and Nader change positions....
It's going to go even higher. This poll was taken only through the 2nd. Last night's speech not even taken into account.
If that is true then that is incredible.
Now, folks, let's not get smug and assured. I want to see the Democrat Party totally destroyed this November. To come even close to doing that, we are going to need every single vote we can get. Kerry is toast, but he is only the face of the problem. The monster (the Democrat party) that carries Kerry & Edwards face needs to be destroyed forever!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
First time Bush has gone over 50% and John F*ckin's dropped like a stone in the polls. Its a 10 point gap and the Bush-Cheney campaign is firing on all four burners. The DU Dummies are crying at their wake this morning. Life is beautiful!BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Your are welcome. I wasn't sure whether we could post any stuff from Time so I didn't want to take a chance. :-)
I was wondering why Susan Estrich lost all bladder control. Now we know.
Jumpin' Jupiter. Bush's numbers jumped across the board on every issue. Couple this with today's 54% approval in the Rasmussen tracking poll. THAT is what an effective convention does, folks!!!
Give things two weeks to calm down and we shall see what the landscape really looks like. Still this is good news for what it is.
Ping!
Now we know why Kerry/Edwards had that stupid "rally" last night! PANIC TIME!!!
Kerry, taking on the mantle of underdog, was heard on the campaign trail saying, "We may be down going into the 4th quarter, but weight-challenged woman has not begun to sing. There's still time for a 'Hail Margie'!"
Tell you what... Bush gets ANOTHER 10 point bounce in the next couple of days. Then watch the libs really melt down!
