BS: Bush Bounce Gone...

Well, the exaggerated claims of a big "bounce" for Bush have been reversed by the first debate! From the AP:

The first poll taken after the presidential debate showed Kerry running even with Bush. The Democrat had the support of 47 percent and Bush 45 percent in the Newsweek poll. Independent candidate Ralph Nader had the backing of 2 percent.

Bush was slightly up, 49-43, in the same poll in early September and up 11 points in the Newsweek poll taken right after the GOP convention. The poll of 1,013 registered voters was taken from late Thursday to early Saturday and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.


Notice how when the democrat is within the margin of error, he is "running even?" When the same thing happens in Bush's favor, they often say he is "slightly ahead, but within the margin of error."

It was bouncing Bush that started this whole trouble in the first place.




When they bounced him on his head as a baby.



But maybe we should try it again???



And again...

The skull protects the brain. In Bush's case, it doesn't have too much to do.
