HOLY PRESIDENTIAL BOUNCE! Gallup Daily Tracking poll has Obama Approval at 52%

That's a 5-POINT Bounce in approval since the last poll by Gallup.

And that's a 3 day average. The last daily poll must be even a larger difference.

Obama is up in a 3-point swing against Romney 48-45% since before the convention (7-day rolling average).

On Edit: corrected difference between approval bounce and election bounce.

areas than not, which makes their polls skew to the right. I have never been polled by Gallup here in blue California, but friends of mine from the midwest get polled quite often.

I had approval numbers for race numbers.

There is a 5-point bounce in approval, 3-point in race.

If either of those polls show the Democrat up by three points, then he is really up by nine.
