CNN Poll of LV's (post-DNC) Obama: 52 % Romney: 46 %

That is what momentum looks like. That is what a bounce looks like.

Shouldn't you be hoping this is not a bounce, an inherently transient occurrence?

Your point is? I'm just saying it is a bounce. At this point, I think Obama is in the driver's seat and will stay there for the duration of the campaign.

Regardless of what this poll says, you can't really discount that Obama is leading at this point, every poll is showing that, even Rasmussen. Now unless every pollster is on a concentrated effort against Romney, there is really no disputing that Obama is in the better position right now.

It seems to me that some normal independents may have chosen partisan ID in this poll, rather than just saying independent, so may view party ID more fluidly than the pollster intends. That would explain why independents are lower here.
