Time Magazine has just released a new poll of likely voters conducted from August 31st to September 2nd showing Bush opening up a lead over Kerry 52%-41%. Clearly The Republican Convention was more successful than the Democratic Convention, actually producing a bounce for Bush.
The internals show Bush with overwhelming leads on the issues of Iraq (12%), handling the war on terrorism (21%), providing strong leadership (19%), commanding the Armed Forces (15%), and tax policy (9%). Kerry leads on the healthcare (6%), understanding the needs of people like themselves (3%).
There's still 2 months to go, but this is the first time since March that either candidate has been able to open up such a large lead.
