Boing -- Barack getting his bounce?

POSTED: Thursday, August 28, 2008, 1:22 PM

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.

Looks like Obama is on the right side of a surge for a change.

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.

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.

The Corporate Controlled Media wants fluctuations in the polls. The tighter the race, the more revenue they receive.

Still only up by 5 points in PA. If he loses PA which I believe he will, the election is over.

You sold us Xi Jah, with that evidence there's no doubt he's a genocidal maniac.

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.
