A Bush bounce

NEW YORK Two new polls suggest there was a post-convention bounce for President Bush even in heavily Democratic New York.The Quinnipiac (KWIN'-uh-pee-ak) University Polling Institute shows Democrat John Kerry leading Bush, 47 percent to 41 percent in New York. But those numbers have narrowed from a pre-Republican National Convention poll. The earlier survey had Kerry leading Bush, 53 percent to 35 percent. In each poll, Ralph Nader had four percent.The new poll also finds Bush's approval rating rising to 43 percent in New York, up from 37 percent in the August poll.A second statewide poll -- from Marist College -- has Kerry leading Bush, 48 percent to 40 percent, in New York. In April, a Marist poll had Kerry with 54 percent, and Bush at 37 percent.

If Bush gets NY, sit back and enjoy the night.

He doesn't have to win NY, it just needs to be "in play."

The fact that he is even in the race, and not double digits, in NY is significant; they elected the BEAST;

Vote fraud is a fine art in New York, from what I hear. We probably will not win that state. But getting close is good enough, they will have to put some money into that very expensive market.

WOW - I never would have thought a Republican can get 40%+ in NY

The momentum is on Bush's side, so NY might be in play.

I would relish every moment if NY becomes a battleground state... I might even secretly cheer the NY Yankees baseball team :-)

Does anyone know how sKerry is polling in Massachusetts? I live there and it burns me knowing that my vote won't count.

Your vote in MASS didn't count for many years now. Ask your Supreme Court.
