Last night's Rassmussen poll results should thrill Democrats

You may well be right on, Agcat, but like we said with the Time and Newsweek polls, I'm going to wait for a credible poll to offer a read on the bounce before I make any judgments. besides, no one has even hit 50% yet at Rasmussen. I think he's awfully rigid in his sampling or weighting or whatever one calls it to allow for a sustained bounce or lack thereof by either. It seems mini bounces roll on and roll off pretty frequently at Rasmussen. We'll see.

FYI - anyone interested, I'm not sure I'd hold my breath in wait of any new Gallup polls. The write-up on Gallup's homepage seems to indicate that there will not be a new one released till after Labor Day. Tuesday or Wednesday I might look for one.

Not sure that this is the best time for a poll (late summer, holiday weekend, after a party's convention), but I guess it's the bounce that we're interested in. Or negative bounce, who knows.
