<snip> LOS ANGELES (Reuters) — Democrat candidate Al Gore has canceled out Republican George W. Bush's post-convention bounce and almost erased his lead in the U.S. presidential race, according to a new Reuters/Zogby poll published Monday.
The poll of 1,005 likely voters conducted Aug. 11-13 by pollster John Zogby, which appeared on the first day of the Democratic National Convention, found Bush, the governor of Texas, leading the vice president 43 percent to 40 percent.
With a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percent, the result was a statistical dead heat. One week ago, in the aftermath of the Republican National Convention, Bush led Gore by 17 points.
Bush's "convention bounce'' had entirely disappeared in the latest poll. The big question now was what kind of a boost would Gore reap from the Democratic National Convention and how long would it last. " <snip>
Bush lost 17 points within a week in 2000. That's alot of points for anyone and to lose them in such a short time shows this can still go our way. So don't fret the small stuff! :D
