America's reax

In a previous post, I rolled my eyes at the delusional media expectation that President Obama can be the diviner of miracles if only he'd whip out his Harry Potter wand. I hope, nay pray, ordinary America is less crazy. To that end, the latest Gallup tracking poll shows Obama's job approval has hit 52 percent, his highest since 2009. As some observers have noted, the 3-day rolling average (which doesn't reflect the entire convention yet) suggests a post-convention break-out in Obama's favor. Of course, anyone who watched Obama's speech without blinders won't be surprised at this promising development.
