That said, I check Rasmussen and Gallup daily, just "to see."
And, post the RNC, I kept looking for that post-convention bounce that presidential candidates typically get. Over the last week, I saw Romney inch up another point or two over Obama, to take a four point lead at Rasmussen. At Gallup, I think they were tied.
Also at Gallup, President Obama's approval/disapproval rating was equal (47%).
I kept checking, every day, expecting Willard's bounce to happen "any minute."
This morning, twelve hours after President Obama's acceptance speech, at Gallup, his approval/disapproval rating is now 52% approval, disapproval 43%. And they have President Obama up three points over Romney.
Over at Rasmussen, Mittens is still leading, but the gap is closing, with Obama now only down by one!
So.......less than a day after the close of the convention, President Obama is showing a definite "bounce" - you know, the "bounce" that Willard didn't get.
Will it continue? I don't know. Will it make a difference come November? Maybe, maybe not.

I just find it interesting.
I would like to bump the 52% job approval because some on here have been saying for months that he is below 50%. I wonder what will be said now
I was polled a few months ago. And it's not the first time I've ever been called, though it was the first time in this particular election season. So now you almost know two people.
Edited to add: I didn't see Zimar's post--that makes three! I guess those polls are real after all...

Perhaps the President's message has begun to resonate...
Hey, did you get to go to the acceptance speech or were you collateral damage to the site being moved?
I was collateral damage but they made the right call. Yesterdays weather was a mess. Storms and pouring rain.
