In 2008, the Republican National Convention wrapped up on September 4. Although the Gallup Daily Poll had shown Barack Obama leading John McCain prior to the GOP convention, the McCain-Palin ticket took a 3 to 5 point lead coming out of their convention.
The Obama-Biden ticket regained the Gallup lead in mid-September 2008 and did not relinquish it going into the election.
Today, the Gallup 7-Day Rolling Average shows President Obama leading Mitt Romney 47% to 46%. It appears that Romney received little-to-no poll "bounce" from his convention. Whether or not the Obama-Biden ticket receives a bounce from their convention (which ends today) will become apparent early next week.
