Gallup: Obama's Convention Bounce at 4 Points

It looks like that despite all the spectacle and Obama’s convention, that he could only muster a historically average 4 point bounce.

Comparing Obama’s current 49% support with the 45% he received immediately before the start of the Democratic National Convention in Denver last week suggests he received a 4-point bounce out of the convention, fairly typical of past convention bounces. 

Fairly typical? After all that hype? Other polls show an equally dismal situation for Obama. Rasmussen has Obama up by only 3. Zogby has McCain/Palin ahead of Obama/Biden by two points. And CNN has Obama up by a mere point.In other words, it’s pretty much a tie. When you look at the national polls saying its a statistical tie, and the nearly energized conservative base at the beginning of the Republican National Convention… It’s not a good time for the Obama campaign.
