Ok, why have there been no posts to the new CNN/USAToday poll? Did I just miss it? Do I have too much time on my hands on a lazy Sunday? The poll has Kerry down after the convention among likely voters, and up with registered ones. Not a good poll, though the fundamentals may be brighter (they haven't released the whole poll yet).

My thoughts are that this is an outlier. Why would Bush support go up after Kerry's excellent speech? If it is an outlier, then it came at a real bad time. Bushco will be able to market this as the first convention to give a dip to the candidate. Since this is a poll that many news organizations use, we can look forward to many irritating spins in the coming weeks.
