President George W. Bush opened an 11- percentage point lead in his re-election race against Democrat John Kerry, according to a Time magazine poll taken during the Republican National Convention this week.

Is it getting warm in here? It looks the Republican Convention is helping Bush more than Democrats' helped John Kerry, not good. Then again this might not be the case. The Bloomberg story did not provide many details on the poll in question and other surveys suggest a much more modest lead for Bush than the Time one does. The American Research Group has a poll from 8/30 to 9/1 with Kerry enjoying a slight lead. The true impact of the Convention probably won't be clear untill after the weekend.
