Kerry Enjoys 10% Boost in the 2004 Presidential Deck Poll

Cincinnati, OH August 14, 2004 -- Although traditional polls showed little to no change for Kerry after the Democratic Convention, his polling numbers surged 10% in the 2004 Deck Poll. Before the convention, Bush was leading by a 3 to 2 margin, but the race has become much closer; Bush currently maintains a 56-44 advantage in the nationwide poll.

Parody Productions, Inc. of Cincinnati is conducting a poll based on sales of their very popular Presidential Deck Playing Cards. Sales of the two decks, featuring Bush or Kerry and their supporters, are tallied on a state-by-state basis in a mock electoral college. Real-time polling results can be seen at http://www.2004DeckPoll.com

Each of these casino quality playing cards has humorous and unique commentary. "This is a feel-good, make-you-laugh product," said David Krikorian, co-founder of Parody Productions, Inc. The George W. Bush Deck features and supports the President's re-election and includes several prominent Republicans including Laura Bush, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Rudi Guiliani. The John F.
