I fully expected F'n to lead today in Rasmussen.

Bush's numbers tanked when Scotty polled over Father's Day weekend. I figured the same would happen for Labor Day weekend.

Note what else Rasmussen sez:

"While challengers typically earn a bigger Convention Bounce than incumbents, Kerry managed only a two-point bounce from both the announcement of his running mate and the Democratic Convention.
Three weeks ago, at his post-Convention peak, Kerry was ahead by nearly three percentage points in our weekly tracking update. This week, Bush is ahead by nearly three points. The race for the White House, while still very close, is now the President's to lose."

Kerry had an exceptionally good day on Saturday for polling which resulted in yesterday's poll numbers. Bush had a really good night on Friday. Tommorow I expect the race to go to being tied or even a slight Kerry advantage as Bush's good night rolls off the 3 day average. But I expect Bush will probably regain a 3-4 point lead on Wednesday as Kerry's really good Saturday rolls off the average.
