http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/09/pew-dnc-obama-romney-poll-democratic-enthusiasm.php?ref=fpnewsfeedPresident Obama has an 8-point lead over Mitt Romney among likely voters, bolstered by renewed Democratic enthusiasm in the wake of the Democratic National Convention, according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center.
At this stage in the campaign, Barack Obama is in a strong position compared with past victorious presidential candidates, said Pew President Andrew Kohut. Obama holds a bigger September lead than the last three candidates who went on to win in November, including Obama four years ago. In elections since 1988, only Bill Clinton, in 1992 and 1996, entered the fall with a larger advantage.
Obama leads Romney 51 percent to 43 percent. A poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal released Tuesday night showed a 5-point Obama advantage.
President Obama leads almost all public polls taken after the conventions, and he has a 4.1 edge in the PollTracker Average of the national race.

poll last night, and chose to highlight Gallup's daily tracking poll. At what point, do the M$M types admit that the president had a great convention, and things are definitely moving in his direction?

really huge, I see a big landslide.
If Pew Research is giving Obama an eight points lead, this means Obama might be leading in red states and will
probably be opening up a more larger lead after the debates.
