the flash ABC News poll had Kerry up 3%, but was overweighted w/ Democrats by 3%. * benefitted from the perception he improved from last week, and cut out much of the stuttering and repetition. That was the buzz beforehand, the bashing of his previous performance would make it difficult to have Kerry a clear winner since *'s expectations were lowered.
