Array ( [sid] => 63024 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => NO BOUNCE IN THE POLLS FOR BUSH [time] => 2004-09-08 17:36:23 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The Polls Come Back to Earth

It has been a wild week for numbers. Immediately after the Republican Convention, Time and Newsweek released poll numbers indicating a significant bounce for George W. Bush, and an 11 point lead over John Kerry. A few days go by, however, and the air appears to have been let out of the tires.

The new Rasmussen poll has the two Presidential candidates tied 47.3% to 47.3%. This leads to an inescapable conclusion: If all these numbers are correct - Time, Newsweek and Rasmussen - then Mr. Bush has suffered an historic cratering in his poll numbers within 100 hours of the close of his party's convention.

But perhaps the ballyhooed post-convention lead enjoyed by Bush never existed at all. Pollster John Zogby says, 'I have Mr. Bush leading by 2 points in the simple head-to-head match up - 46% to 44%. Add in the other minor candidates and it becomes a 3 point advantage for the President - 46% to 43%...it simply is not an 11 point race. It just isn't.'

It should be noted that Rasmussen provided the core data for both the TIME and Newsweek polls. Their independent interpretation of the very same data produced dramatically different conclusions than those reached by TIME and Newsweek.

The 'Bush bounce' after the convention has either disappeared completely, or never existed at all. Neither bodes well for the incumbent. Gallup, which has on many occasions appeared to be working as a PR arm of the Bush election campaign, paints an interesting political perspective: 'Bush's two-point convention bounce is one of the smallest registered in Gallup polling history, along with Hubert Humphrey's two-point bounce following the 1968 Democratic convention, George McGovern's zero-point bounce following the 1972 Democratic convention, and Kerry's 'negative bounce' of one point among registered voters earlier this year. Bush's bounce is the smallest an incumbent president has received.'

--O//--


The only thing bouncing is bush’s brain
And that’s going good for a man insane
These repubs just keep lying it’s the way they are
They see the bush *** as some shining star

No bounce in the polls that’s not what we were told
It’s like the fox news telecast in those days of old
When Gore was ahead and they gave it to Bush
Do lies matter when you’re determined to push

your own cousin to power...?
That’s all that counts in the final hour
Not what the AMERICAN PEOPLE want, oh no...
It’s the power-brokers that matter and the power they flaunt

No bounce in the polls for babybrain bush
No triumphant victor just a mind full of mush
A liar and fraud and coward to boot
An incompetent idiot, a puppet taken root

A mirage it was, something cooked for you
To pretend they were flying, this ugly crew
Their friends in business gave them a hand
More corrupt dealing in a power-mad land

No bounce in the polls for the clown president
He got almost nothing, without precedent
The most unpopular incumbent ever seen
It’s not surprising. This man isn’t clean

Dirty lie after lie, from Cheney too
A sneering ugly government who crow at you
The time is now at last to raise a shout
The bounce we need is to bounce them out!

NO BOUNCE IN THE POLLS FOR BUSH
