Give it a bit more time. As soon as the DNC drug wears off the polls will move towards Romney. OTOH, the polls had Carter way up over Reagan.
Maybe it was a sudden surge after Madonna showed us her back parts.
How can this happen? Voters are sick .
This will fade as more economic news comes out.
There are many dumb, freeloaders among our midst who will be voting. Throw in the fraudulent voters, ie dead ones, illegal voters and our task becomes tremendous.
Is there any better indicator of the failure of the government schools than the fact Obama has more than 10% support?
We have entire generations who cannot make an informed judgement call.
Our culture & society in this country, the Free Stuff generation —— is so far different and removed from the country we knew 32 years ago from Carter vs Reagan that any thought of correlating what happen then to what should happen now because of past trends should be careful. There is more who live off the government from all walks of life than the simple welfare queens of old. This ‘give me’ way of thinking is the new norm in this country. Treating Obama as a nice guy in over his head, rather than a smart leftist who knows exactly what he’s doing, leaves the Democrats’ bogus narrative about government unanswered. America is changing, and Republicans are naive to rely on the public to simply recognize the problems in the Democrats’ claims without significant help from our nominee in going after the man and his marxist ideology
50% disapproval rate. And only a 6% bounce from the convention for a sitting president? Romney landslide a-coming.

Sure has been close for quite some time. The gambling web sites are watching this one very closely.
Battleground stayed the same 46-45 Romney..
bounce probably in blue states.
Everyone needs to chill out. This bounce was expected. Remember these important facts:
1. Jobs report. It will be the sustaining and most influential news over the next 3-4 weeks.
2. Convention euphoria will fade quickly.
3. Obama’s speech was a wet towel. Very average.
4. Clinton’s speech was like a drug — a quick high for the brain-disordered leftists, but Romney’s opponent is Obama, not Clinton. Voters will quickly appreciate that fact.
5. Democrats hate God and Israel. We have it on film.
6. Romney has more money.
7. The primaries showed that Romney does well playing from behind. Multiple primaries required him to take off the gloves and annihilate while trailing. He usually pulled it off.
The objective facts on the ground favor Romney, so remain optimistic. If he’s not solidly leading by the end of September you should begin worrying.
don’t panic.. Battleground in ras poll still has 46-45 Romney.. Most likely the bounce was in blue states, some dems came for a few days.
Then, wouldn't this actually be a "Clinton bounce"??? Wouldn't it be a BO bounce if it happened after his speech (which it didn't)?
Hang in there, It’s going to be Landslide. Just like 2 years ago
And if you look at Battleground state poll for rasmussen, Romney is still up 46-45. Most likely the bounce was in some blue states...
If Obama’s peak is 46-47 after a week of fawning, I feel pretty good. I would be worried if he hit 50%. His best moment is the ‘big speech’. He just gave his last ‘big speech’ before the election...and I think it is showing that while his speeches usually get good response, they just don’t move the needle.
I suspect you're right, since in the explanation Ras said the bounce mostly came from the Dhims being excited of their party. The convention was designed for their own base, not for independents. This, of course, has a consequence: the bounce might not disappear anytime soon.
