CNN Poll: Obama up six points over Romney
<...>
According to a CNN/ORC International Poll released Monday, 52% of registered voters nationwide back the president, compared to 46% for Romney. Just before the convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, Obama was tied with Romney 48%-48%.
<...>
This year's Democratic event wiped away some of Romney's gains on personal qualities. The Republican nominee's favorable rating increased to 53% after the GOP convention, but fell to 48% one week later after the Democratic event. Meanwhile, Obama rose to 57% in the last week, his highest mark since 2010.
Obama also took away Romney's lead on leadership for the country's future. Now 51% of likely voters think Obama has a more optimistic vision for the country's future, compared to Romney at 41%. Last week, however, 43% said Obama was more optimistic, while 47% said the same about Romney.
Another takeaway from the two conventions was that Obama seemed to come out as the candidate with a more specific plan to help the country. Before the Republican event, 45% thought Romney was more likely to have a clear plan, while only 39% felt the same about the president. Now the two have switched places, with 45% saying Obama has a clear plan, compared 39% saying the same about Romney.

(49,750 posts)1. Wow, the switch in numbers re favorability, leadership/optimism...
and who has the more specific plan to help the country from after the repub convention to after the Dem convention is REALLY BAD NEWS for the repubs and shows clearly the Democratic National Convention was very, very effective in getting the truth out. Their message resonated with the public.
This is great news!

This elections is moving in the right direction.
Let's all keep focused though. Donate, volunteer and talk to neighbors and friends.
