President Obama’s post-convention “bounce” continued to grow Saturday, as new polls showed him widening a lead over Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
Obama’s lead over Romney among registered voters grew to 49%-45% in Gallup’s tracking poll. The 49% for Obama was his highest point in the survey since late April. It represented an increase of 1 point since Friday and a 5-point swing from Romney’s 47%-46% lead in the Gallup survey just before the Republican convention began.
The poll combines small samples taken each night to present a seven-day average. Since three of the nights of the survey period preceded the Democratic convention, Obama’s lead in the survey is likely to grow further.
Gallup’s measure of job approval also continued to improve for Obama, with 52% of adults surveyed saying they approved of his performance in office, compared with 42% disapproving. That survey uses a three-day average.

These polls are making me sick, but I have never been so strongly motivated to vote.
Obama must go....
What is the GOP selling?
A non-Christian liberal candidate whose as vague on his action plan as Obama was in 2008?
Do I care that Obama is back up? Not really.
I think Romney is going to win, but it’s not going to be by any landslide.
Gallup?? Gallup?? Gallup has been in the pocket of the Democrats since JFK.
R u effin’ kidding me?
It appears as though Gallup made a deal with the DOJ. Drop the “lawsuit” and we’ll give your “messiah” a huge bump after the DNC freak sh...I mean convention.
It’s not looking good with less than 2 months to go . I don’t see the debates helping Romney with the left moderating and Obama more than likely getting the questions handed to him in advance . Add in the voter fraud and what do you get ? An Obama victory .
C'mon. Why do you think. It was on Television!
We live in a country where millions of brain dead idiots actually cared enough about "American Idol" to get off their asses and call in a vote for those half-assed phoney baloneys. Why shouldn't the drooling masses be swayed by their hero Billyboy, the rapist sodomizer, and his baggage handler?
Those Nigerian emails are scams?
I would like to see these pollster’s questions.
Got agitprop?
Dead cat bounce.
Yep - Now Obama's trouncing will be like the economic stats over the last few years - "unexpected".
Amazing that with those odds I haven't met a single one.
NOT GUILTY!!! Jennifer Laurence *SWOON*
absolutely...
That’s true. My only point is that white Hispanics should be counted as part of the white population.
