Will Obama’s Bounce Hold?

Has President Obama’s convention bounce reached its peak? On Monday, his position declined slightly in our forecast for the first time since Aug. 27.

To be sure, Mr. Obama had a fairly strong day of polling on Monday relative to the long-term baseline. But the data was a little bit more equivocal than in polls released over the weekend — which may suggest, at least, that he will make few further gains in the polls. [cont.]
