... RCP has the state polls on top of their list of latest polls of the day. Normally they put the nationwide polls of the day on top. The reason i say this is there is statewide polling that looks good for Romney today, and by putting it on top it makes Romney look good, and Obama behind.

Have to wait and see over the next few days. The jobs #'s may negate that bump Romney may get.

5. My best guess is that the "bump" is due to heightened right-wing enthusiasm

It's what he does best.

Today's Jobs Report was one of the biggest achievements of the Obama Presidency.

On top of that the Dow Jones just hit a 5-year high (I Posted the thread earlier).
