"Bush's convention bounce appeared to be 2 percentage points.
The percentage of likely voters who said he was their choice for president rose from 50 right before the convention to 52 immediately afterward."
Wow, did he get a larger bounce than the President when he won?
Don't argue just reopen threads from the other day and respond for newbies to see why the reaction on the part of Obamatrons. McCain may be up by ten next week and they will enjoy that moment. But for this moment, this point in time, this morning it is:
Doing the Obamatron dance:
One step to the left
One step to the middle
one step to the right
stomp, stomp, stomp
shake your booty, shake your booty
stomp, stomp, stomp
Hands in the air
stomp stomp stomp
Repeat
6% apart is one of the lowest leads at this time in modern history.
I think I would be worried if I were you.
Even you know it should be at least 10% apart.
Stop lying. Kerry had a 5% lead two weeks further along from today.
Here was Rasmussen 4 years ago to the Month.

"6% apart is one of the lowest leads at this time in modern history".......LOL
By the way... even Bill O'Reilly admited yesterday that Obama reach is beyond those who get polled. Minorities, people without land line phones. These polls are really meaningless.
I might also add that Bush in 2004 ALWAYS led the electoral college projections, regardless of who was ahead in what poll. Obama's lead is far more consistent and long-term than Kerry's, which flucuated up until the the Republican convention, where then Bush led up until election day.
And unlike Kerry, Obama leads in all the electoral map projections.
I wouldn't say they are meaningless. The pollsters have taken in account increased levels of Democrats by sampling them more so than they did in 06, 04.
They do this for a living. They are fully aware of the cell phone, no land line problem.
