Obama’s ‘Bounce’ Grows

Rather than subsiding, Obama’s post-convention “bounce” seems to be solidifying and growing. See the state of the race chart after the jump …

Meanwhile Obama’s seems to be seeping down into the individual state races, especially critical states like Ohio and Florida. The TPM Electoral Scoreboard has Obama near his high water mark at 328 electoral votes to 191 for Mitt Romney.

Here’s the trend chart for Ohio …

And here for Florida …

Romney likely has to win both of these states to win the election. And both seem to be slipping out of his grasp with the conventions, in both cases, showing up as a key turning point.
