Oh Well, Obama "Convention Bounce" Is Gone

If Rasmussen Reports is right then Barack Obama has probably just set a record for history's shortest post-convention bounce in the polls.

According to Rasmussen: "The president received a modest convention bounce, but that's now gone. On the day the conventions began, Obama was up by two points. Now the numbers are essentially back to that starting point with the president leading by a point."

Additionally, Rasmussen says that when "leaners" are factored in then Romney is actually ahead: "When “leaners” are included, it’s Romney 48% and Obama 47%. Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either candidate but express a preference for one of them in a follow-up question."
