A bounce for Kerry? It's still up in the air

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON - The jury is out on whether presidential nominee John Kerry got a "bounce" in the polls after the Democratic National Convention. Some surveys suggest he did; in others he did not.

An ABC-Washington Post poll showed Kerry and running mate John Edwards slightly ahead among registered voters, with 50 percent, compared with 44 percent for President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Independent Ralph Nader and Peter Camejo were at 2 percent. Among likely voters, Kerry and Edwards were tied with Bush and Cheney in a three-way matchup.

A Newsweek poll taken Thursday and Friday gave Kerry-Edwards a narrow lead over Bush-Cheney, 49 percent to 42 percent, with 3 percent for Nader-Camejo.

Two polls taken after Kerry's acceptance speech on Thursday showed little or no movement.

A CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll released Monday found Bush-Cheney slightly ahead among likely voters in a three-way matchup, with 51 percent to 45 percent for Kerry-Edwards and 2 percent for Nader-Camejo. The two major party tickets were tied among registered voters in a three-way race.

A CBS News poll released Monday found Kerry-Edwards slightly ahead of Bush-Cheney, 48 percent to 43 percent, with Nader at 3 percent.

All four polls had margins of error of 3 percentage points.
