Today’s Presidential Tracking Poll results are the best for Obama in nearly a month. Four years ago, John Kerry received his “convention bounce” before the convention but after naming John Edwards as his Vice Presidential candidate. He reached his high-water mark with a five-point lead over George W. Bush on July 22 and 23, just before the convention began on July 25. Comparisons to four years ago are not necessarily predictive of Election 2008 due to differences in timing of the conventions and other factors.
