Gallup, 9/1 -- NO POST-CONVENTION BUMP so far for Romney, no dip in President Obama's approval

[highplainsdem]

Just got the new numbers today from Gallup:

http://www.gallup.com/home.aspx

Obama's approval/disapproval numbers, based on a three-day rolling average -- August 29-31 for the latest numbers -- are unchanged. 45% approval, 46% disapproval.


And Gallup is still showing the Presidential Election numbers as Obama 47%, Romney 46%.

That's based on a 7-day rolling average, but with all three days of the convention now included, I'd expect to see SOME bounce for Romney, if the convention was going to affect the polling at all.

2. Hard to tell, with a 7-day tracker...

It's possible, for example, that Rmoney did get a bump over the past three days but that, at the same time, three Mitt-favorable days dropped off the back end of the cycle.

More telling are Obama's favorability numbers, which are based on a three-day, not seven-day, tracker, and thus only cover the RNC and its aftermath. If Mittens got any form of convention bump, which remains to be seen, it doesn't seem to have resulted from the GOP rhetoric-fest turning people against the President.
