President Barack Obama got another huge post-convention bounce in a new poll, this time from a Fox News, which shows him leading Mitt Romney 48-43 among likely voters.

The poll gives Obama a 6-point swing from the last Fox News survey, which gave Romney a single-point lead.

There were other positive signs of a bounce for Obama, too. Here are the highlights:

-Obama supporters have closed the enthusiasm gap in the poll and are now just as likely as Romney supporters to say that their candidate winning is extremely important.

-His net favorability rating had a 5-point swing, and he's now viewed 10 points more favorably than unfavorably.

-His approval rating ticked up to an even 50 percent among likely voters, up from just 46 percent in the last poll.

-On protecting Medicare and making sure it’s there for future generations Obama leads Romney by 11 points.

-On taking the country in the right direction and handling the economy — two issues he's trailed Romney in other polls — he is now tied with Romney.

1. Thats why Fl is stepping up more purging

and PA trying to stop voters from getting their IDs. PA is also effing with seniors and that is not a good sign cause seniors have children and grans. All this will backfire on GOPpers 24/7.

7. Could be that Rupert (News Corp)

considers Romney (Bain Capital/Clear Channel Communications) to be competition.

Might also explain why News Corp's top recipient of campaign contributions is Barack Obama ($63,075).

Or maybe he's bribing the Obama administration so they won't investigate phone hacking in the US.
