"President Obama’s standing in the national race ticked up after a successful Democratic convention, but that’s no cause for concern, Mitt Romney’s pollster Neil Newhouse said in a memo released Monday morning.
“Don’t get too worked up about the latest polling,” Newhouse wrote. “While some voters will feel a bit of a sugar-high from the conventions, the basic structure of the race has not changed significantly.”
The memo was partially a response to polls released this weekend showing a yawning lead for President Obama in the wake of the convention — Gallup shows a 5-point Obama advantage in their 7-day rolling average, and Republican-leaning Rasmussen found a 5-point edge in its three-day tracker.
Newhouse dismisses those numbers as noise. He offered a point-by-point refutation of what seemed to be a sizable Obama bounce — especially for a race that has barely changed in months. While the memo did not cite many specific post-convention polls to justify its claims, Newhouse argued that Romney’s original strategy of highlighting the rough economy would turn things around. At times, he made it sound as if this had already happened."
