Midknight Review -- new and revised: Bounce for Obama is real but . . . . .

Until the 8th, Obama's "strongly approve" numbers were in the 25% bracket and had been there for three years. The last time his "total approve" percentage was 52% was on July 17, 2009. Today and for the first time since the spring of 2009, Obama has registered a 52% "total approve" on the same day he scored 32%

What is the difference between "then" and "now?" Back "then," his numbers were based on the impression people had of his abilities and projected accomplishments.

"Now," these numbers are based on a bump from the DNC . . . . big difference . . . . .significant difference. If the bounce remains through this coming week, these numbers become important, but, for now, this editor only sees a temporary “fix” from the convention.

Date	Presidential Approval Index	Strongly Approve	Strongly Disapprove	Total Approve	Total Disapprove
9/09/2012	-10	32%	42%	52%	47%
9/08/2012	-13	30%	43%	49%	50%

One more thing: Obama’s lead over Romney, nationally, is 3 points and he (Obama) is on an upward trend. Romney took a hit via the Democrat Convention, but it appears that his decline has leveled out; in fact, it rose slightly from yesterday (see the chart below).

Understand one thing, Obama’s base has been energized because they love hate-speech and name calling, and there was plenty of that nonsense at their convention -- but energizing the base is one thing, winning over Independents is another and Romney’s convention bounce was with Independents, moving his approval with that demographic from 34% to 45%, before and after the RNC, respectively.

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's going down. His policies don't represent the majority of Americans.
That will be very apparent after the debate.

You're losing. You have been losing. You will lose. You ARE a loser.

You know, every three weeks, Obama has a good week and you never miss the opportunity to tell me I am a loser . . . . but then you have to deal with three weeks of bad news and you are nowhere to be found. Funny how that works.
