More accurate than the polls is the futures markets, which is really what I monitor. It has Obama ahead of McCain by a wider margin 53 to 46. Granted, this spread had narrowed during the GOP convention close to parity (reflecting the McCain-Palin bounce), but it has started to widen again over the last 24 hrs. Watch the futures markets, boys. This is where the smart money is putting their bets.

For comparison's sake, here is George W Bush's post-convention numbers in 2004

RealClear Politics - Polls

Scroll to the very bottom. The last poll is the 1st poll taken after the RNC convention.

A bump is just that -- a bump. How can a bump "stagnate"? The whole premise of your poll makes no sense, thus I am unable to vote!

I voted and no it isn't bumping it will be bigger numbers...JMO.

People will get sick of Obama having to denounce friends, etc...and come up with excuses for mistakes he made and stating he is a muslim and having to be corrected by an interviewer, accusing others while not even having a plan him self, but for raising taxes!
