Maybe President Obama is getting a bit of a convention bounce after all.
The president's lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney has expanded in three daily tracking polls since his convention ended in Charlotte on Thursday night.
The Gallup tracking poll has Obama up 49%-45%.
Reuters/Ipsos gives the president a 47%-43% lead.
And Scott Rasmussen has Obama ahead of Romney, 46%-44%.
"The bump is actually happening. I know there was some debate whether it would happen ... but it's here," said Ipsos pollster Julia Clark, reports Reuters.

"In my second term, I will have more flexibility." They're scared to death.
Of course, the composition of the House and the state races is also essential.
If the GOP take over any more Governor's offices and elections commissions, we can forget about electing any Democrats.

Cibola!! My life for you!
Wish there was a YouTube I could link to which would be of literary relevance.
But that's what I think of Rmonet/RAyn.

It is an ever widening gap. It will continue to grow.
Like President Obama said.....it is the American people, not just the President, that will fix the mess that the tycoons left us in. That starts with not electing a tycoon to lead us.
2008 all over again.
