While the right wing wacko talk show fans get overly excited and cream themselves over stories of swift boat story tellers, the voters where it MATTERS are moving decisively to President John Kerry. American voters will ultimately reject the sleaze and slurs over Kerry's war and protest heroism, and vote based on what matters today: jobs, economy, health care, Iraq war, deficits, environment, women's right to choose, civil liberties, and stem cell research.

These poll results are staggering; there is a clear, consistent trend for SOLID victories for Kerry in the key swing states, including PENNSYLANIA and FLORIDA:

"A Kerry Bounce?

Remember all the spin and counter-spin about how much bounce in the polls, if any, Kerry would get from the Democratic National Convention?

Well, national polls haven't shown anything dramatic, but statewide polls are another story.

The Kerry-Edwards campaign has surged in a few of the states that will probably determine the electoral college winner, according to Realpolitics.com, which polls the polls. In Florida, the biggest swing-state prize, a seesaw race seems to have swung, for the moment at least, Kerry's way. Two polls, including the Quinnipiac University survey, show the Democratic ticket with beyond-the-margin-of-error leads of between 6 and 7 percentage points in Florida, post-convention, compared with a statistical dead heat a month earlier.

Kerry also has improved his standing in Michigan (he led by 7 percentage points in one early August survey); Minnesota (8 points up during the convention); Pennsylvania (5 to 6 points in mid-August); and New Hampshire (7 points). Kerry also grabbed a slight advantage over the president in West Virginia during the convention. "
