HOLY PRESIDENTIAL BOUNCE! Gallup Daily Tracking poll has Obama Approval at 52% [View all]

That's a 5-POINT Bounce in approval since the last poll by Gallup.

And that's a 3 day average. The last daily poll must be even a larger difference.

Obama is up in a 3-point swing against Romney 48-45% since before the convention (7-day rolling average).

On Edit: corrected difference between approval bounce and election bounce.
