The latest survey showing Obama getting some post-convention lift, from Fox News:
Overall, the Obama-Biden ticket tops the Romney-Ryan ticket by 48 to 43 percent among likely voters. The president’s advantage is within the poll’s margin of sampling error.That’s a four-point “convention bounce” for Obama among likely voters. Before the conventions, Romney edged Obama by one point (45-44 percent, August 19-21, 2012). ...Obama leads Romney among all women by 14 points and unmarried women by 38 points. The president also tops the Republican among those with annual income below $50,000 (+18 points), young voters under age 30 (+25 points) and black voters (+89 points).Romney bests Obama among men (+6 points), white voters (+12 points), voters who regularly attend religious services (+11 points), Southerners (+18 points) and working-class white voters (+22 points).
The poll is a little rosier for Obama than many likely-voter surveys, but it's consistent with the overall picture of things in the aftermath of both parties' conventions: the incumbent's up by a few points and the fundamentals of his and Romney's coalitions have not changed in a major way.
