We talked on Monday about Gallup daily tracking polls, and the extent to which Mitt Romney received no meaningful bump from the Republican National Convention. I mentioned at the time, however, that much of the electorate is already locked it, and Democrats shouldn’t be too surprised if they run into a similar problem.
And where do things currently stand? The Democratic convention just ended last night, so we don’t yet have a complete picture of the impact, but here’s the same chart I ran on Monday, updated to show nearly two full weeks.
Yes, this chart is dull, but that’s not my fault — the results in the Gallup data just haven’t budged much. On Monday, Aug. 27, the tracking poll showed Romney with a one-point lead, which soon switched to a one-point lead for Obama, which led to today, with Obama’s lead growing slightly to three points.
