Daily Tracking poll data

Gallup http://pollingreport.com/wh12gent.htm Shows Romney losing a NET 1% over the course of his Convention

Rassmussen shows Romney losing 3 points in Swing states and gaining 1% in overall http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...dministration/daily_swing_state_tracking_poll


And this is BEFORE THE DNC goes to bat with its "last licks".

Doesn't it take 2-3 days post-convention for a bounce to show up in tracking/rolling average polls?

Razz was looking for a MUCH bigger bump....it's why he was starting the Convention with a "Obama +4" poll, so that he could call it a "MASSIVE shift to Romney after his speech" when ...what he expected...would be a "Romney+3,+4,+5" bump.

It didn't happen. Now he's left scrambling claiming "Conventions are MEANINGLESS" (Scott's lastest "analysis" on his website).

So blatant and obvious....it's hilarioius.

Apparently viewer fewer people watched the convention than re-runs of comedies on CBS.

I use "pollingreport" myself, and Romney's "bounce" seemed more a "thud".

I am reminded of the F-105 "Thunderchief" fighter-bomber we used extensively in Vietnam. Pilots there called it the "Thunderthud" from the sound it makes crashing when it gets shot down by a MIG.

And you expect us to believe you?

It's bad enough to make a mess but to sit in it too is even worse

From a purely practical standpoint, I would suggest that Mitt probably needed to realize as much as a 10 point "bounce" from this convention, in order for him to be considered the least bit seriously for November.

Call me a Democratic-partisan homer but......I'd say the same if all the existing fundamentals were in place, but the incumbent was a GOP and the challenger was a Democrat. Even if Mitt got a 5 point bounce, it wouldn't be enough. But...the fact of his seeing virtually nothing, signals his end here and now.

Well at the least he needed a "bounce" that put him into the lead. And that has not happened.

Yes I do.
