Polls are in: NO CONVENTION BOUNCE! (w/ funny GOP reaction)

by SemDem

Couldn't have happened to a more awful person:

A modest bump in popularity for U.S. presidential hopeful Mitt Romney from this week's Republican Party convention looks to be short-lived, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Democratic President Barack Obama regained a narrow lead on Saturday by 44 percent to 43 percent over his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts Governor Romney, in the latest daily installment of the four-day rolling poll....

"This wasn't a lightning bolt convention," Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said. "Comparatively speaking, this was a more muted convention in general ... So it doesn't surprise me that (the bump in polls) wasn't a great deal bigger."

Gallup Poll showed no bounce at all.

It gets better below the cinnamin twist:

Analysis on the Gallup Poll from
Mr. Nate Silver:

The most sluggish of the tracking polls is from Gallup, which reports its results over a lengthy seven-day window. That means that only about half its interviews occurred after the start of the convention, and a smaller fraction than that will represent people surveyed after Mr. Romney’s acceptance address.

However, the trend so far in the Gallup poll is a bit disappointing for Mr. Romney; the survey still shows Mr. Obama one point ahead. By comparison, the Gallup poll has had a 46-46 tie on average over the past 60 days.

Here is what you need to take away from this.

THIS IS THE PEAK FOR MITT ROMNEY!

After a disastrous summer, August was to be the month of Mitt. First with his veep announcement, and then the convention. The convention has just ended.... which means we had an entire week of unfiltered Mitt Romney propoganda covered by the news media. The Dem convention hasn't started yet, so THIS LABOR WEEKEND should be Mitt at his absolute highest.

And he is still losing....

Hundreds of millions spent by a few billionaires, voter suppression, scare tactics, racism, and nonstop lies. Nothing. Even with a sluggish economy, the American people know they don't want to go back to the trickle-down, Romney-Hood policies of what made this economy sluggish in the first place.

People do not like or trust Mitt.

He made his extreme fortune forcing companies to take on extreme debt, and having OTHERS try to pay it off... but only after he and his vulture buddies got paid their management "fees". Sort of like his economic plan.... increase the deficit and have the middle class pay a lot more so he and his buddies can pay A LOT less.

Using ONLY historical data is a problem, professors. Mitt hasn't led in the electoral college at ANY point in this election. Even McCain led Obama ONE WEEk after the GOP convention. No historical data will match the suck factor that is Romney. Historically, there was never such a disparity in likability, trust and competence.
But please, PLEASE, conservatives--keep believing in your alternate-reality fantasy that somehow Mitt will sweep all the states. That would be keeping within your beliefs that the president is an alien, Kenyan, Socialist, Aethist-Muslim who owns a time machine to plant fake birth announcements. Your strong beliefs in the face of facts are what gives snake oil salesmen like Rove the ability to piss billionaire's money down the drain.

Thank you.

One last thing, professors. If you want historical data, I have a better one. The worst pundit in America, the troll who is Dick Morris, (who recently said that Akin was a boon for RMoney), and has made every wrong prediction for every election......(wait for it).... just predicted a landslide for Romney.

Now that's data you can use.

1. we will see how the airwaves flooded with nonsense commercials

3. good...time to get to work!

get out the vote!

[nanabugg]

4. Told you so. But did anyone believe there would be?

[Barry2012]

5. Awesome

Let's keep dropping the hammer on them.

This statistic was stunning to me.

As my sig line says....

12. absolutely, he's only losing by one point, add in voter suppression and we are the ones in trouble

[drlit]

8. Didn't McCain/Palin get an 11 point bounce?

They keep comparing Ryan to Palin -- lack of excitement factor vs huge excitement factor (GOP version); low viewer #'s for THE speech vs huge viewer numbers; likeability (again GOP)....

Interesting.

I guess he doesn't need to do the interview with Katie Couric. He's already telling lies and backtracking on his boasts all by himself.

He can see the empty chair or maybe the finish line...from his front porch??

10. Something like that.

The stardust on that turd wore off fairly quickly though....thank gawd.

9. He played to his base with the Lyan pick. The convention also played to the base.

There was pretty much nothing in either that would appeal to a swing voter.

11. I look for a big bounce this week for Obama.

When people witness the democratic convention they'll see the vast difference between the two political parties. While Romney just showed that he lacks warmth and the ability to connect with the common man, the democrats will show the voter they have a vision for a better tomorrow and a plan for a better future for everyone!
