Something tells me it will happen soon.

It's last Friday to yesterday, so this is first poll 100% post-convention

I don't see any indication of the post-DNC spread fading. If anything it may be getting stronger with the Mit-wit's daily meltdowns.

It will be interesting to see what the first post-smirk polls say.

"history tells us those convention bounces disappear after a few days. All we have to do is wait a few days and it will be a 50-50 race all over again."

If the current spreads hold into early next week, you are going to see a lot of Republicans crapping their pants, and Romney will be bouncing around like a pinball -- although I don't know that anybody would notice a difference.

2 weeks and 5 days before the first debate. And then they come about one a week right up to election day.

Two days ago, it was 50-43, yesterday, it was 50-44, and now it's down to 49-44. Each day's current results have been worse than the day that dropped off. Since this is a seven-day poll, there still may be a lot of high Obama margin days right after convention ready to drop off in the next few days. By mid-next week, I wouldn't be surprised to see it back to a two- or three-point margin.

Convention bounces fade -- that's a fact. The issue is whether Obama will take away a lasting gain, even if it two or three points. At this point, I'd say yes...but not much more than that.

There is only one convention day included in the 7-day Gallup and it still shows a +5.

Democracy Corps and Fox are entirely post-DNC and they show a +5. CBS is post-DNC and it shows +3.

There may be a little more settling down, but a solid 2-4 national spread should remain

In Ohio, Marist is entirely Post DNC and shows +7. Ras is a little later and shows Obama +1. Figure Ras is pro-GOP by 2-3 points -- they are always an outlier, so a 3 - 5 point spread in OH seems about right. Almost exactly the same story in VA.

I believe it was 4 or 3% the day before. The fade in Rasmussen may be attributed to his wishful thinking.

Let's not forget, Gallup has a slight pro-Republican bias this season.

It definitely seemed to until this past month. I think Nate Silver pointed it out as well.

But it seems to be correcting now since Gallup has been one of the best pollsters for Obama since the DNC.
