Convention Bounce? Reuters Finds 7-point Shift...
in Romney's favor:
Obama 43%
Romney 43%
Down from a seven point lead for the President in the last poll.
Of note: this is a likely voter poll versus the registered voter sampling most firms had been using for much of the summer (Reuter's 49-42 Obama lead was amongst 1000 registered voters). I think we are seeing the switchover now from RV to LV which will cause a shift in any existing "leads" for the President. Don't be surprised if analysts attribute the "bounce" to this shift in sampling, but at least we are getting a clearer picture of the race from more and more companies now.
Let's see what else shakes out this week.
