Yesterday, Gallup reported the first real discernible signs of a convention “bounce” in Obama polling. Over the course of the week, Obama’s job approval rating moved up 7 points. In Gallup’s daily tracking Friday, 52% of adults approved of the job Obama was doing. In a head-to-head match-up, Obama led Mitt Romney by 3 points, 48-45. It is clear that up to that point in the convention, Obama was enjoying a bounce. It also seems clear, however, that his bounce will deflate rather quickly.
Gallup’s daily tracking of job approval is based on a rolling three-day average. Friday’s number, then, is based on interviews conducted Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Obama didn’t speak until well after 10pm EDT, so most of the interviews on Thursday would have been conducted after he spoke. As a result, Friday’s number is based largely on feedback to speeches by First Lady Michelle Obama and former President Bill Clinton. These speeches were the high-point of the DNC’s convention. While Clinton’s speech was largely a work of fiction, his performance of it was outstanding.

Crash and burn will occur in the wee hours of Nov 7th
There was no significant “bump”–if any at all–Obama is well behind Romney–and this is the way it will continue!
According to a Poll I saw about an hour ago, the percentage of the vote is 76% Romney, 22% Obama, 2% other or undecided. That sounds like a land slide to me, covering what ever is left of the Dem’s.
Poll`s mean nothing. The win is in already. George Soro`s own`s the company that will count the vote in Spain. Ovamit will win by a landslide.
