Obama Moves Ahead

New polls appear to show Barack Obama receiving a convention bounce of two to four points based on Bill Clinton’s nominating speech and due to a large audience for his acceptance speech.

Mitt Romney pulled even as the Democratic convention began (although, there was a debate among analysts if the bounce was a convention effect or outside influence).  But, Obama has been up a couple of points throughout the summer, and now appears to have reestablished that dominance. Unfortunately for Romney, neither the selection of Paul Ryan nor the Republican convention changed the game.

In spite of the fact there are only a handful of undecided voters, Colorado can now expect a swarm of visits from the candidates and their surrogates and a major build-up for the October 3rd debate.
