Midway through the Dems' convention, Obama gets a 5-point bump in Gallup's daily tracking poll. Maybe the surge is working after all -- you wouldn't sense that if you watch a lot of cable TV.
And don't forget, because it's based on a 3-day roll, that means polls taken on Monday, before the convention, are still included in the total. Ultimately, though, this is meaningless, but Obama has also bumped in the state-level polls, as I described on the previous thread.— Politburo

Looks like Obama is on the right side of a surge for a change.— jmc- Hey Genius: Your first word says it all for neo-cons: "Ugh". Get used to it. PS: I'm a lawyer too, and I'll match my ethics against anyone else's.— AHiredGun
- Xi Jah: Psst! The convention isn't over yet. And it's a rolling poll, as I mentioned, so we really have to wait until Monday to get a true post-convention number.— Politburo
- The Corporate Controlled Media wants fluctuations in the polls. The tighter the race, the more revenue they receive.— Some Boca Dude
- Still only up by 5 points in PA. If he loses PA which I believe he will, the election is over.— Grill

- So how exactly does that make your analogy "right"?— Politburo
- You sold us Xi Jah, with that evidence there's no doubt he's a genocidal maniac.— RG

- First Xi Jah anoints him the messiah, now he's calling him Hitler. I think there's an outbreak of Obama Derangement Syndrome. Its odd how much time these guys spend on bashing a "fringe" candidate who has "no shot" in November. It'd be like me focusing on Tom Tancredo.— RG
