PoliBlog : Pre-RNC Toast (Better Late than Never)
The President goes into the coming week with an opportunity to make a significant impact in the race. While the numbers are still in the “too close to call” category, they have been trending in his favor of late. Can he build on those numbers? Any measurable bump will be huge, and likely will be covered as such. If the President can get a solid 5 point bump at the end of the week, the convention week will be considered a huge success. Further, it could give the President’s re-election campaign a further opportunity to solidify that growth during the upcoming third anniversary of 911.
