DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
ORLANDO - John Kerry's boffo debate performance vaporized
President Bush's post-convention bounce, according to a new
poll that finds the Massachusetts senator back in the hunt
- and maybe a little ahead.
A Newsweek poll that recently found Bush up by 11 points
now has Kerry ahead 47% to 45% in a race including Ralph
Nader, and 49% to 46% head-to-head......"

Excerpts:
"President Bush may be taking some hits this week after Thursday's
debate with Sen. John Kerry. But among the U.S. Marine reservists who
returned to the Twin Cities on Saturday after a seven-month tour in
Iraq, there was hardly any doubt about which candidate they favored.
"I don't think I've met anyone in this company who isn't going to go
out and vote for Bush," said Sgt. Zachary Lamb, 28, as he held his
son, Jackson, 3, who was clutching a U.S. flag. "They stand by the
president 100 percent."
Lamb and about 75 other Marine Reservists were greeted with cheers,
hugs and welcome-home signs Saturday from about 200 family members and
friends at the Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Center near Fort
Snelling.
Lamb, of Jefferson City, Mo., was part of a military police unit, most
of whom guarded detainees in and around Ar Ramadi in Iraq.

Interviews with some of his comrades Saturday indicate that Lamb may
be accurate in his assessment of Bush's following in his Marines
Reserve unit.
"I liked what Bush had to say," said Lance Cpl. Tom Buffy, 21, of
Richfield, who watched part of the debate.
Gunnery Sgt. Chasen Getty, 34, of Coon Rapids, said he was "kind of
neutral" but is leaning toward Bush. "I like Bush," he said. On the
subject of Iraq, Getty said, "There's a lot of hope over there."
Six Marine Reservists, waiting outside the reserve center for a ride,
were asked by a reporter which candidate they leaned toward. Five
raised their hands for Bush, none for Kerry and one declined to say.
Stephen Schrepfer, 36, of Springfield, Mo., said, "I lean more towards
Bush. I trust him more. I believe he's good." He said he was relieved
to be stateside again."
