A TIME Magazine poll taken in the middle of the Republican convention showed GW Bush with an 11 point lead on John Kerry. Today, another poll, this one from Newsweek taken the night of the Bush speech and the day after, confirms the 52%-41% Bush lead.
Among those queried after the Republican convention, Bush was given a 16 point cushion in the Newsweek poll.
It looks like the kind of bump Kerry expected from the Democratic convention but never got.
Surprised? Is this it for Kerry? How important do the coming debates become for each candidate? If attack ads worked for GW Bush, why didn't Farenheit 9/11 work for Kerry?
Debate.
