Amid growing evidence that President Barack Obama earned a post-convention bounce, a new poll released Tuesday shows that voters think the Democrats put on a better confab than the Republicans.  

The latest survey from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP), conducted on behalf of Daily Kos and Service Employees International Union (SEIU), shows that 49 percent of likely voters nationwide believe that the Democrats had a more successful convention, compared with 35 percent who think the Republican convention was more successful. 

Obama opened up a 6-point lead in a new CNN poll released Monday, perhaps the strongest sign yet that the incumbent benefitted from his party’s gathering in Charlotte, N.C. far more than Mitt Romney did from the Republican National Convention held in Tampa, Fla. the week before.
