Obama vs. Rmoney: http://www.gallup.com/poll/150743/Obama-Romney.aspx

Approval: http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Job-Approval.aspx

I should note that both of these are one point increases from yesterdays polls. Bounce!

1. Whoa there, Nellie.

That's not a bounce, it's the cow jumping over the moon.

And this is WITH all the billionaire bucks negative ads?

[livetohike]

3. No matter what they throw at Pres. Obama.....it isn't working

I expect the momentum to continue, especially if the media wakes up and does their job.

15. People just don't like Romney

He is a slime ball that will say anything to get elected and is horribly secretive. What has he done in his life? We don't know. What are his plans? He won't tell us. Why is he even running? Haven't got a clue.

17. Therefore, they threw some mid-east terror incidents at him, timed for the 9-11 anniversary.

2. K&R! n/t

4. 50% is the magic number

although 51% is better. Because at that point it doesn't matter what undecideds do.

5. Since Gallup had stayed at +5 yesterday from the previous day . . .

I didn't think we would see it go up any further. Interesting.

I notice that Obama dropped from (+5) to (+3) in Rasmussen today. I guess his bounce in Rasmussen is subsiding. Wonder why? A natural end to the bounce, or does Rasmussen not want to give Obama too much good news?

10. They've been touting the "end of Obama's bounce" all day on Fox.

We'll see in a week. But Romney will knock him down some once the Superpac deluge begins in full force. It will be ugly. But we have to stay on top of it and keep calling out the GOP lies.

[TroyD]

13. on Twitter they say FOX is saying Obama's high numbers are because . . .

white people are afraid of being called racist if they don't tell pollsters they are voting for Obama.

[Gore1FL]

14. It's funny that they are ashamed to admit being a Republican to a stranger.

And that they are using it as an excuse to explain polls.

[SunSeeker]

16. They're ashamed to admit they're Republican to themselves.

They always claim they're "conservatives" or "independents."

[Jemmons]

6. Its just a post convention bump - as soon as the gop have had their convention it will move back to

fairly even....

7. I bet these 'investors' are going to kick some Karl Rove ass when this thing is over

He has convinced them to empty their pockets and they are getting absolutely NOTHING for it

Talk about stupidity in investing - you'd think they'd be wiser with their beloved dollars

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. But I thought that Rove had "the math"

Obama OTOH has "the arithmetic"!

In an ironic way, Citizens United may wind up being a victim of its own "success"- if shoveling all of this money to unseat a vulnerable and especially hated (at least among the right) incumbent doesn't work, then some billionaire investors may be more hesitant to spend vast sums of money in the future. Of course, when all you got is a turd, you can only "polish" said turd so much. Romney has run a god-awful GE campaign so far. However, his backers- financial and otherwise- hate Obama so much they're going to throw out as much money as possible in Romney's favor and hope and pray that it will be enough to unseat him.

9. Ooh! Ooh! Can I join them?

I've wanted to kick that guy's ass for a long time now. I can kick really, really hard, too.

[calimary]

11. Take a number!

When we say "kick," around here, sometimes we mean LITERALLY!!!!

[SkyDaddy7]

12. BOUNCE BABY BOUNCE!!!
