Romney Gets No Bounce From Last Week's GOP Convention

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

The President's approval rating went up 7%. That's outside the margin of error.

I read about that Poll. They polled 400 residents of various hotels in Charlotte this week.

Right! You 'read' about that poll. Where, pray tell, did you do that 'reading'?

Sheesh, James. Remember -- baseless assertions are worth WAY more than actually pointing to the primary source: http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Job-Approval.aspx

Gallup tracks daily the percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as president. Daily results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,500 national adults; Margin of error is ±3 percentage points.

His bald-faced BS is so teapublican! When the leaders and nominees themselves feel free to just make things up and engage in a sort of 'Alice in Wonderland' kind of opposite definitions it is no wonder that other adherents of the movement will feel little restraint from doing likewise. It does make intelligent discussion of the issues difficult! Maybe that is the whole point. Didn't someone once say something like "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance than baffle them with bullsh!t"!

I am sorry. It was an obvious joke, the butt of which was they polled people in hotels in Charlotte this week. I.E Attendees of the DNC.. I forget we don't all play with the same deck.

Sorry I didn't get the joke.

It is hard to know when the joke is intended or is actually believed when you hear some of the stuff that comes out of the mouths of Ryan, Akin, Romney, Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter, ........

Bouncing again, in Gary's absence.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows President Obama attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns 45% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

This is the president’s biggest lead over Romney among Likely Voters since March 17. See daily tracking history. Obama’s convention bounce is evident both in the head-to-head numbers with Romney and in his Job Approval ratings (see below).

Impossible. Mitt's been generating tremendous excitement. Don't believe it? There, see for yourself.

The thing with bounces is that throw "up" is temporary. After a while, things tend to end up at the same level - on the floor.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Bouncing again, since Obama's numbers continue to rise.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

bounced back to the top.

Waiting for the Dems to report on the Obama bounce.

Per Rasmussen

Pre-DNC:

Romney: 47%

Obama: 44%

Post DNC:

Obama: 50% (+6%)

Romney: 45% (-2%)

There, happy?

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Bouncy.

CNN Poll: Obama up six points over Romney

According to a CNN/ORC International Poll released Monday, 52% of likely voters nationwide back the president, compared to 46% for Romney. Just before the convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, Obama was tied with Romney 48%-48%.

Gary's busy speaking on behalf of all RUB women.
