Today's Rasmussen results are all post-debate. Bush 49, Kerry 46. Their comments:

The latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows President George W. Bush with 49% of the vote and Senator John Kerry with 46%.

When leaners are included in the total, Kerry has closed to within two points of the President. Also, the President's Job Approval has fallen a point since the debate.

These results are based upon a survey of 3,000 Likely Voters conducted since Thursday night's debate. Overall, they show that Senator Kerry has gained one percentage point so far from the debate. It remains to be seen whether or not that bounce will grow leading up to the second debate.


This seems to be a general consensus among polls, that Kerry won one point support from the swing voters based on the first debate. Three debates to go, counting the VP debate tomorrow.

<<He performed very poorly, no matter what the strategy was.>>

He probably shouldn't have spent the day in Florida but if Florida is the factor as it was in the last election, who knows.

I know, Kerry stood up straight, Bush leaned on the podium. To dumb fawlks like me Kerry looked like he was talking down his nose to peons, Bush looked like he was trying to connect to those below the nose. At least he didn't say "I feel your pain". Worked twice for Clinton.
