Lets take a quick peek at their last poll.

They had Bush at 45.3% and Kerry at 48%. Bush is now at 48.2%. They call this a 2 point bounce. Either they are bad at math, have a really strict rounding error, or intentionally tried to lowball the bounce in their report.
Also, we all pretty much agree that Bush was not down nearly 3% heading into his convention. He was up between 1 and 3% in Vorlon's rolling poll average.
WIthout seeing the internals I will wager they have a too high proportion of democrats.
Also, this poll was done as part of their omnibus marketing research. Their respondents got asked political questions in the middle of being asked a lot of marketing research questions.
Mddem, I did not expect you to get this desperate for good news for Kerry.
Nice Poke Tredrick
I don't know anything about this firm other than their last poll in August seemed reasonable. I was just surprised that nobody saw this one out there before I.
Nahhh.....No worries here (YET)! Bush I say is probably up by 3% in the real world - That ain't a huge lead by any measure......
