What the debate showed us is that Bush is a puppet of those behind the scenes(especially Cheney)who can't think on his feet,that needs scripted rhetoric of others.Bush may be the titular head of the country,but we know better."It's hard work" being president.

No, I'm saying that two polls by the same agency with a huge difference in % of Dems and Republicans between the two polls doesn't allow one to draw any definite conclusions about any supposed "Kerry bounce." Also, the fact that an polling agency would allow that much discrepancy between two consecutive polls casts doubt on the competence of the polling agency.

"And Rasmussen has already posted that there will be no precise post debate poll until Monday. So stop quoting it."

Since 2 of the 3 polling days were after the debate, and since the rolling 3-day tracking poll from the previous day shows an even narrower margin for Bush, it's implicit mathematically that the debate isn't moving the polls in Kerry's direction (at least Rasmussen's polls). In fact, Rasmussen says something to that effect.
