Which poll shows the Swift Boat Liars are having an effect on Kerry?

I have heard this several times but I've never heard which polls are showing this.

2. No such poll exists

However, the latest Quinnipiac PA poll shows Kerry winning among veterans and military families: http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x12945.xml

3. Not so swift boaters

effect is minimal except on the Bushistas, who mistakenly think they will counter F-9/11.

I believe there will be a significant backlash against Bush from vets and thier family and friends as a result of the smear.

4. The only person I heard say it was Bill Maher

Surprised me. I haven't seen any evidence to support it and he didn't cite any polls. Doubt it's true.

5. Probably the CNN/Gallup poll--the only one "they" refer to....

but actually, while that poll shows Bush* ahead of Kerry, it also shows that Bush* slipped one point from the previous Gallup poll.

6. The poll of DU armchair strategists.

100% of them agree the Swift Boat smears have destroyed Kerry, and revealed him to be a weak, Dukakis-like candidate. And if the employment figures coming out in a couple of weeks look good and Bush wins the election, the DU armchair strategists will be proven correct in their own minds.

9. I agree with the analysis in that link, except

one thing it fails to mention is the fact that we don't know what criteria this 'Republican polling and strategic consulting firm' used to determine who is a 'likely voter'.
