And then over the weekend O will go back up. Daily tracking polls are useless noise. They bounce all over the place.
Woa this is not a very good bounce. :/
I just don’t get how Obama has so much support. Who are these idiots???
What is the number generated by some talking heads? 47% of the people get some sort of a government check?
Actually, they are much more steady than the polls the networks commission monthly. The daily tracking polls use numbers over multiple days (3,5 or 7 usually) to smooth out the results.
What I think we are going to see is there is no bounce. And I doubt Obama will get one either. The country is very divided. A very simplistic way of looking at it is that half the people want more freebies, the other half would rather not pay for those people to have more freebies. There just aren't that many truly independent voters these days.
This was an excellent convention for the GOP ticket, and the shift in momentum already heading our way will accelerate.
Rasmussen has already said you won’t see the full effect of the bounce until the end of the week — Saturday. That would reflect polling for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
From the article:
“...As a result, nearly all of the interviews were conducted before Mitt Romney’s speech to the Republican National Convention last night. Some interviews for today’s update were conducted before the prime-time speeches on the first night of the convention. However, the daily tracking so far does indicates that Romney has received a modest “bounce” from the convention.”
Yeah. Not a good bounce at all so far.
These things sometimes take a while to sort out though.
Lets wait a few more days and see what happens.
I think the two debates is where the undecideds will make up their mind.
Do we believe the polls? I’m really asking.
So Rasmussen is basically saying there was no bounce from the convention? I find that very difficult to believe.
This week is a holiday weekend week.
I would not even consider any poll till after next week.
I look at the trends, not the daily. Obama has topped out consistently at 47% since March, and he bottoms at 43%. Obama is a known factor, what’s going to move him above this 43-47 channel?
A major screwup by Romney is Obama’s only hope. Romney is just getting started with the American voter and can move up.
It looks very winnable for Romney and Obama has a problem.
Polls be damned, Romney and Ryan are going to beat this bastard.
