Are you insinuating that the polls aren’t used to manipulate public opinion. It is one of the top tools used by the media.
Right now we see a convention bounce, but it is being reported as the end of the road for Romney. There are only a few polls I would consider even worth reviewing. They show a bounce. Rasmussen, who is showing a bounce and a higher approval rating is still showing a tie game among the swing states, with Obama sitting around 45-46%. I am comfortable with that at this stage. I would love to see an edge for the GOP but it is going to take a full campaign session to defeat an incumbent no matter what his record. I hope the R/R campaign has a good plan.
Oh I agree, the last 24 hours have been a very interesting media cycle. They are campaigning for Obama’s second term with all the polls making headlines, the report Obama raised more money than Romney. Even articles saying Romney’s internals are bad...yadda yadda yaddda.
It’s all designed to make Obama look like the energized winner we all knew a loved from four years ago, and make Romney look like a played out flop.
It got to me, I must admit.
