Gallup: No bounce for Romney post-GOP convention

By Lucy Madison

(CBS News) Despite a week of high-profile speeches and events designed to introduce Americans to the Republican presidential nominee, a new tracking poll from Gallup suggests that Mitt Romney received no bump in the polls as a result of the Republican National Convention.

The survey, which polled voters between August 31 and September 3, showed Romney with 46 percent support, while President Obama earned 47 percent support.

In Gallup's pre-convention tracking poll, conducted from August 24-27, Mr. Obama was at 46 percent support and Romney was at 47 percent. Both results are within the poll's margin of error, which is +/- three percent.

According to the survey, the lack of a bounce is "consistent with Gallup's immediate post-GOP convention reaction poll, showing Americans giving Romney's acceptance speech, and the convention more generally, rather muted ratings."

1. Look for the Big Money Romney donors to start looking for a hedge

3. Maybe they'll want to hedge their bets by sending money to Obama?

Frankly, I don't care. That's the name of the game, so Obama needs to get the most.

Full disclosure - I ARDENTLY support campaign finance reform, and the movement that's begun, state-by-state, for a Constitutional amendment to correct the horrendous Citizens United ruling.

Unfortunately, we're mired in the bad old ways. So if that's the state of affairs, then I want MY guy to have the biggest bucks.
