Wow! That will change the numbers wont it?
Here is the REAL story. Nothing changed post debate.
Sunday October 03, 2004--The latest Rasmussen Reports
Presidential Tracking Poll shows President George W. Bush with 49% of
the vote and Senator John Kerry with 45%.
These results are based upon a survey of 3,000 Likely Voters conducted
Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday afternoon. As a result,
just over two-thirds of the interviews were conducted following
Thursday night's Presidential Debate.
Interviews conducted on Friday and Saturday show Kerry with a
one-point bounce so far since the debate. However, in post-debate
interviews, Bush still leads 49% to 46%.
The debates did little to change voter perceptions of the candidates'
political ideology. However, following the debate, there was an
increase in the number who say finishing the mission in Iraq is more
important than getting troops home as soon as possible.
Six percent (6%)% of voters say they changed their minds following the
debate. This includes 3% who are now voting for Kerry, 2% for Bush,
and 1% who are now undecided.
