Bounce

Obama's convention bounce appears to be nil. Real Clear Politics has Obama up by an average of 4.5 points.

The specific polls results:
CBS News - Obama +8
CNN Tracking - Obama  +1
Gallup Tacking - Obama +6
Rasmussen Tracking - Obama +3

Zogby is reporting 
The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon Saturday, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, compared to 45% support for Obama/Biden.

McCain's announcement muted the after effects of Obama's in the media and took away some of the convention bounce. Typically candidates come out of their conventions with double digit leads. Maybe the McSame message is not resonating?

Is there a reason you didn't mention the USA Today/Gallup poll which shows Obama leading McCain by seven, 50% to 43% and the Diageo/Hotline shows Obama leading McCain by nine, 48% to 39%? Maybe that would skew your figures too much.

Correct,

At the time I posted this Real Clear Politics and many others were registering a slight to no bounce, later in the day several new polls came out expanding his lead.

Then maybe you ought to make an addition to your post that recognizes that fact.
