Obama gets a 6 point bounce - before the final bounce even happens!

48% to 42% :applause: :) :woohoo:

Gallup daily:

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. There is a lag of sorts involved in the daily tracking; interviewing is conducted in most parts of the country before that evening's high-focus speeches have taken place. Thus, the current three-day average would reflect any impact of Monday night's speech by Michelle Obama, and Tuesday night's speech by Hillary Clinton, but would not completely reflect Wednesday night's lineup of speakers, such as John Kerry, former President Bill Clinton, and vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, nor the appearance on stage at the end of the evening by Barack Obama himself.

1. Actually Isn't it a 8 pt bounce?

I remember waking up Monday morning and some grumpy mean man that I think was trying to sell coffee with a blond airhead that constantly nods her head (Morning Joe) was touting the fact that McCain was ahead in the Gallup Daily Tracking poll from the weekend 46 - 44 for the first time since the tracking was begun. Monday this Gallup Daily tracking was a very bell weather poll. I am sure tomorrow it will be a trivial means nothing poll.

I think we were at -2 on Monday morning.
