Poll: Obama approval up 7 points after DNC

President Obama’s approval rating climbed to 52 percent, his highest rating in many months, according to Gallup’s latest poll. The last three days of the Democratic National Convention gave him a 7 percent bump in approval over three days, with a 3 percent hike in just the past 24 hours. Mitt Romney received no bump in the polls from the RNC, dropping from 47 percent before the convention to 46 percent. The DNC also surpassed the RNC in ratings; even competing with the opening night of NFL football, more people tuned in to Bill Clinton’s DNC speech than the second half of the Cowboys-Giants game.

Your attempt to convince the country that you are human, and not a big mess of wires, transistors and metal FAILED.

After the rnc, the media was saying it took 2 weeks to see if there was a bounce. They made fools of themselves between the 2 conventions. I think ours just knocked the wind out of them. They all looked a little out of it this week.
