But those that say no bounce like NYT's Ron Fournier - Bush holds a slight lead over Kerry in a head-to-head matchup, according to a recent poll, but the Democratic ticket pulls even with Edwards on it.

Thursday July 08, 2004--The latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows the candidates are tied once again. President George W. Bush and Senator John F. Kerry each attract 46% of the vote. The Tracking Poll is updated daily by noon Eastern.
We have modified the Tracking Poll to reflect the fact that it is now a Kerry-Edwards ticket running against a Bush-Cheney ticket. Before Edwards was selected, the choice offered was simply Bush vs. Kerry. Two-thirds of the interviews for today's report were completed with the new approach.
Democrats are now much more optimistic about their prospects of winning in November. In fact, among all voters, 46% believe the Bush-Cheney team will be re-elected while 44% believe Kerry and Edwards will emerge victorious. Those figures represent a dramatic improvement from a month ago. Scott Rasmussen will be discussing this and other topics on Fox and Friends Friday morning at 8:20 a.m. Eastern.
