Midknight Review -- new and revised: Updated: It was a two point bounce, folks. No big deal.

Update: Let's get real with our summations, shall? Gallup gave Obama a two point bounce: before the DNC, Obama 47 to Romney 46; after the DNC, Obama 49 to Romney 45. Romney had a 4 point bounce with Latino's and an eleven point bounce with Independents (from 34 to 45) . (cf Huff Post).

Original Text:

Well, I guess I can't let this Gallup poll go unanswered: today Gallup has this for its headline . . . . . "Election 2012 Trial Heat: Obama [49%] vs. Romney [45%] among registered voters." Just a reminder: Obama wins all polls taken of registered voters. 40% of these folks do not vote. Always look for polls of "likely voters" or call me a whack job, if you prefer.

Washington Post: If the Obama camp and its spinners think the map is shrinking for Romney-Ryan, they are mistaken. Given the success of the Republican National Convention in boosting Mitt Romney’s image and the egg President Obama laid last night, expect the Romney-Ryan campaign to be launching a widespread ad offensive. It has money to spend and it is going to use it

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Romney got an 11 point bounce with independents from 34% to 45%.

I am not sure why you come to this site and lie your butt off. Gallup has Obama up by 4 points but still under 50%: Obama 49 to Romney 45. Before the D. convention, Gallup had Obama at 47 and Romney at 46. Which means that your bounce was a 2 pointer. BFD.
