3 polls show Obama expanding lead over Romney

[Logical]

Maybe President Obama is getting a bit of a convention bounce after all.

The president's lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney has expanded in three daily tracking polls since his convention ended in Charlotte on Thursday night.

The Gallup tracking poll has Obama up 49%-45%.

Reuters/Ipsos gives the president a 47%-43% lead.

And Scott Rasmussen has Obama ahead of Romney, 46%-44%.

"The bump is actually happening. I know there was some debate whether it would happen ... but it's here," said Ipsos pollster Julia Clark, reports Reuters.

1. Can't wait to see Thursday's poll.

I think a 7 day average is going to show a bigger bump. Obama shows Mitt how it is done. Obama gets a bump, Mitt gets a thud.

2. Will see how long this lasts before the M$M's 24/7 bashing

brings it back down.

6. That's what's coming. And even more than the Koch brothers' $400M...

All lies, a full court press. It's now or never for them. They know what Obama said:

"In my second term, I will have more flexibility." They're scared to death.

Of course, the composition of the House and the state races is also essential.

If the GOP take over any more Governor's offices and elections commissions, we can forget about electing any Democrats.

3. It's still all about the Electoral College, and the "swing states"

The national polls don't matter. Virginia, Ohio, Florida matter, and we've seen GOP fraud in all three.

5. Fraud and vote suppression. Ohio's SOS is still trying to prevent early voting,

despite earlier reports that he'd backed down.

4. And here's the wild thing:

they each reflect about a 6-point swing over the last week.

7. Woop Woop Woop!!!!! A bounce a bounce a bounce!

[JoePhilly]

8. Bumpity Bump Bump, Bumpity Bump Bump, look at that Obama Go!!

[longship]

9. Then, there's Mitt Rmoney an Paul RAyn

They also say, "Bumpty bumpty bump."

But they follow it with...

Cibola!! My life for you!

Wish there was a YouTube I could link to which would be of literary relevance.


But that's what I think of Rmonet/RAyn.

Where's the Trashcan Man when you need him?

[JoePhilly]

13. SO does that make Mitt THIS guy?????

Great book, and a pretty fun movie.

10. My prediction

The bump is not a bump.


It is an ever widening gap. It will continue to grow.

Like President Obama said.....it is the American people, not just the President, that will fix the mess that the tycoons left us in. That starts with not electing a tycoon to lead us.

2008 all over again.

11. I hope! n-t

[magnifisense]

12. Great news!
