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

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.
