The latest likely voter poll from CNN/Gallup/USA Today (not exactly bastions of Republican sympathizers) shows absolutely no bounce for the Kerry/Edwards ticket.

In the survey, taken Friday and Saturday, the Democratic ticket of Kerry and John Edwards trailed the Republican ticket of Bush and Dick Cheney 50% to 46% among likely voters, with independent candidate Ralph Nader at 2%.

Before the convention, the two were essentially tied, with Kerry at 47%, Bush at 46%.

I thought the convention was bad, but I didn't think it would be destructive. And the follow-up analysis

But it was nonetheless a stunning result, the first time in the Gallup Poll since the 1972 Democratic convention that a candidate seemed to lose ground at his convention.

A McGovernite result sounds good to me.
