It's certainly way too early to gauge the impact of Paul Ryan's But we can at least get somewhat of a feel for how the Tuesday evening roster of speakers played with the electorate. And, the early reviews appear to suggest a very muted reaction. One tracking poll moved a single point in the direction of the GOP, another didn't move at all.
Only the all-internet Ipsos/Reuters poll seems to be suggesting a "convention bounce" of any substance, having shifted from a two-point Obama lead on Tuesday morning to a Romney lead of the same margin. Even that, however, is a somewhat modest shift in voter preferences.
Of course, the real red meat of the convention has yet to be tested, so it is far, far too early for Republicans to despair or Democrats to gloat. As I noted yesterday, the best sense of the impact of the convention may wait until as late as Labor Day or Tuesday.
