Title: Obama Bounces Up to 52% Approval, 48% to 45% Over Romney

President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party look as if they are getting at least a preliminary bounce from their convention. Today's (Friday, Sept. 7) Gallup Daily tracking update puts Obama's job approval rating at 52%, the highest it has been since May 2011, after the killing of Osama bin Laden. Obama has also moved to a 48% to 45% lead over Mitt Romney among registered voters in the election tracking, up from Obama's 47% to 46% margin over the last nine days.

Gallup averages the job approval rating on a three-day rolling average, meaning that today's report encompasses interviewing conducted over the three days of the Democratic Convention in Charlotte -- Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Gallup's report of presidential election preferences are, on the other hand, based on a seven-day rolling average stretching from last Friday, the day after the GOP Convention ended, through last night.

This uptick in these two indicators stands in contrast to tracking during the Republican Convention, during which there was no discernible bounce on the ballot tracking. Gallup does not track other measures on Romney that would be comparable to the job approval figure for Obama.

The current data are quite preliminary and for the most part don't reflect the influence of Obama's late Thursday night speech, if any.

So, basically, it's a wash.

Over the same time period, Rasmussen has Obama with 46% approval and Romney up over him, 46-45.

He shouldn't even be close to being that high. The fact that he is says more about the GOP product than it does about him.

Oh, the same Gallup that had Democrats keeping their control of the House and not losing seats in the senate in 2010. I will pass on that rubbish.

The jobs numbers weren't factored into this poll. We'll see what impact, if any, it has in a few days. The article compared this to the bounce Obama got after Bin Laden's death. That may not be a good omen. We know how short-lived that was.

Breaking: Gallup Reports Major DNC 'Bounce' for Obama
Greg Mitchell on September 7, 2012 - 1:23 PM ET

Gallup, as usual, posted its latest poll findings at 1 pm--and found a big bounce for Obama from this year's convention, adding to yesterday's indication. They show a very strong one-day 3% hike in his approval rating to 52%--his highest mark in many months. This means that he gained a whopping 7% in just the past three days.
...
It had been a 47% to 46% lead for him (with no change at all from a week ago during and after the RNC)--but now he has opened lead to 3%, at 48%-45%. And that's in a 7-day poll average with only the first couple days of the DNC factored in, so it should go up a bit more over the next few days. ...

Internal WH polls have it waaaay different according to my wifes cousin (yeah, here we go. She works on the Hill) The Obama administration is in a panic right now. The internal polls have been reversed for about 8 or so months. In other words the polls you see don't reflect whats actually going on.

Come back to reality Nov. 5.

The reality of growing numbers at the unemployment office, swelling numbers of people being supported by welfare and increase in the cost of living. That is the reality of the Obama presidency.

You forgot to mention the part where the Dems are oversampled.



The latest CNN/ORC poll released today shows a wider lead for President Obama than the previous CNN/ORC poll but it is doubly skewed. It massively under-samples independents while it also over-samples Democratic voters. The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll official reports Obama at 52 to percent and Mitt Romney at 46 percent. Unskewed, the data reveals a 53 percent to 45 percent lead for Romney.

This new CNN/ORC survey, unlike many other analyzed, not only over-samples Democratic voters, but also massively under-samples independent voters, to produce a result more favorable to Barack Obama. This survey's sample includes 397 registered Republicans and 441 registered Democrats. But the survey included a total of 822 registered voters, leaving only 37 independent voters at most. The survey clearly under-sampled independent and Republican voters.

The White House holds top secret data that, for whatever reason, all the scientific polling done thus far cannot capture.

Thanks for clearing that up ;)

polls are for lemmings.  does it make you feel better about your president that you voted for that a poll says a lot of people like him?  really?  you don't have the ability to assess the performance of a president on your own?  you need to defer to polls.  and of course only the polls that fall in line with the way you voted.  all the other ones are just bullshit.  i don't get how no one else but me finds this fucking hilarious.

Did you ever get back to that family member about those top secret internal polls?
