Gallup: Yes, A Bounce

Posted Aug 28, 2008 at 1:47 PM by Maurice Berger

The Gallup Daily Tracking Poll also discerns a convention "bounce" for Obama. The Democrat now leads by six points, 48% to 42%. In its latest analysis, "Obama Moves Ahead," Gallup writes: "The latest three-day Gallup Poll Daily tracking average (Aug. 25-27) is directly coincident with the first three days of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and is no doubt beginning to reflect the typical convention 'bounce' that Gallup has observed in most party conventions in recent decades."
