Don't Panic Over the Bush "Bounce"

Okay, by now you've read that both Newsweek and Time show a big Bush bounce and a 51-42 lead over Kerry. Don't panic, though.

It looks likes this is a biased poll. Both magazine choose to do the GOP convention poll right after the GOP convention. In contrast, they waited until about a week after the Democratic convention to do a poll.

Then to make matters worse, both Time and Newsweek pushed the undecideds to make a choice when polling after the GOP, but not after the Democratic convention.
