And that's just the bounce on the basis of what happened Monday.
The voters are only STARTING to process the reaction to Hillary's fantastic speech Tuesday.
Wait until they see what happens after people were introduced to Biden, with the support of Bill Clinton and John Kerry!
And our nominee hasn't even made made his case yet!
The latest three-day Gallup Poll Daily tracking average (Aug. 25-27) is directly coincident with the first three days of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and is no doubt beginning to reflect the typical convention "bounce" that Gallup has observed in most party conventions in recent decades. There is a lag of sorts involved in the daily tracking; interviewing is conducted in most parts of the country before that evening's high-focus speeches have taken place. Thus, the current three-day average would reflect any impact of Monday night's speech by Michelle Obama, and Tuesday night's speech by Hillary Clinton, but would not completely reflect Wednesday night's lineup of speakers, such as John Kerry, former President Bill Clinton, and vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, nor the appearance on stage at the end of the evening by Barack Obama himself. (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.)
I'm optimistic that this convention is really starting to work.
Monday we reintroduce Obama and wipe clean the Republican smears.
Tuesday we unify the party and the country.
Wednesday we shift gears to making the case for Obama, and against McCain.
Tonight, we finish the job. We contrast our vision of the country with the failed vision of McCain.

PS: check out the video of John Kerry's fantastic speech last night.
Uprate it. Don't let big top-down media bury this FIERCE indictment of the Bush-McCain GOP era.
