The Bounce

The Boston Herald documents "A startling turnaround..."

Kerry 31
Dean 21
Clark 16
Edwards 11
Lieberman 4

That's +16 for Kerry, -8 for Dean.

Why? A dramatic swing in favorable/unfavorable ratings.

"Kerry's charge is bolstered by soaring popularity, with 77 percent of voters viewing him favorably and just 18 percent seeing him unfavorably. That rating jumped significantly from the 54 percent favorable and 27 percent unfavorable ratings Kerry had in the Herald's pre-Iowa poll.

Dean's favorable rating dropped from 66 percent in the pre-Iowa poll to 56 percent today while his unfavorable rating climbed from 21 percent to 34 percent."

This is huge, especially if other polling is comparable.
