President Obama’s post-convention “bounce” continued to grow Saturday, as new polls showed him widening a lead over Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
Obama’s lead over Romney among registered voters grew to 49%-45% in Gallup’s tracking poll. The 49% for Obama was his highest point in the survey since late April. It represented an increase of 1 point since Friday and a 5-point swing from Romney’s 47%-46% lead in the Gallup survey just before the Republican convention began.
The poll combines small samples taken each night to present a seven-day average. Since three of the nights of the survey period preceded the Democratic convention, Obama’s lead in the survey is likely to grow further.
Gallup’s measure of job approval also continued to improve for Obama, with 52% of adults surveyed saying they approved of his performance in office, compared with 42% disapproving. That survey uses a three-day average.

Why would he get a bounce?
Half their speakers came across as nuts or insane and the other half lied their rear ends off. He had no REAL record to claim and had no real plan to solve the problems he has created during the last 3.5 years......
Obama YOU ARE FIRED!
A dubious poll just intended to demoralize the anti-communist side. Don’t believe this for a second.
Well, a bounce (by definition) has a down side. We’ll have a different picture by next Tuesday.
Rasmussen has Obama up , too .
Have you looked around at your neighbors’ lately ? The USA is close to 40% non-white & they are not buying what we are selling. Somehow the GOP has even lost the Asian vote ! And then there’s the welfare crowd & government workers & on & on it goes.
What a shock !
What! You mean if I don’t wire $10,000 to Timbut Nasir Abba in Abuja by Monday, Obama will win the election? Damn, this is serious!
US is not 40 non white.. current stats from US Census;
75% white
13% black
8 %hispanic
4% Other
That s wrong. The USA is 63.4% white. That figure you gave is counting Hispanics who claim to be white. Go to the U.S. census page to see the figures.

Barack Obama approval rating at 15-month high, poll says
Did you see this...
Mitt Romney 10 percent lead in unskewed data from ARG poll
It's the same sort of thing with this Gallup fantasy poll.
My first cousin worked on a number of GOP house and Governor races and they would see these slanted polls from QU or Marist or PPP and just laugh.
The polls were cooked to whatever media outlet ( newspaper, local TV station) requested them
to look like.
Another trick is to poll in selected Dem voters districts to get the desired results. Gallup has always been a pro Dem shop so I don't know why the DOJ issue would impacted their unusual slanted poll games. I am surprised DRUDGE is headlining this Dem party garbage. I would love to know the real internals in key states.
Perhaps...but they leave out the negative economic report which came after the convention.
I guess the media's strategy now will be to use this polling data as the current news to replace any further reporting on the abysmal economic report.
A 52% approval among adults? That’s not even as relevant as registered voters.
The LA Times is probably conducting their poll at the border, as the illegals are crossing over from Mexico.
I agree. PsyOps.
Some Hispanics are white. I have two sisters in law that fit that description...and five nieces and nephews...and they’re all Conservatives.
yeah,right...
In general most non-whites vote against the GOP. Simple fact. Hispanics are about 16% of the population & growing fast as we all know. Nevada & Colorado are trending away from the GOP because of Hispanic immigration.
2 points but they say that Obmama has been at 46% and that Romeny’s bounce has eroded so that is why Obama is ahead at least I thought that is what I read.
“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows President Obama attracting support from 46% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns 44% of the vote. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. “
With the margin of error factored in I would say it is a tie.
