Newsweek Poll: Bush/Cheney Lead Kerry/Edwards 54 to 43 Percent. It looks like that Time poll wasn't a fluke, particularly since Newsweek polls lean Democrat. Via PoliPundit. Update: Comments at InstaPundit.
Update: Here's another huge "bounce". This one's a little different. It doesn't ask voters whether they're going to vote for Bush, but whether they think Bush will win.
VERONA, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 2004--The number of Americans who think George W. Bush will be re-elected in November has suddenly jumped 10 to 20 points in dozens of cities around the country, according to SurveyUSA tracking polls conducted before, during and after the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.
SurveyUSA has been asking respondents not who they will vote for, but rather: who they think will win the presidential election in November. This question is more sensitive to changes in sentiment, and is designed to capture "momentum" swings more precisely than preference questions asked of likely voters. Tracking polls released today, 9/3/04, the day after the Republican National Convention ended, show sizeable swings in the public consciousness.
Emphasis mine. Interesting poll. Via PoliPundit.
