Daily Kos Elections Polling Wrap: The (very rare) Monday morning edition

President Obama's post-Democratic convention bounce continued to grow on Sunday, albeit at a slightly reduced pace. That said, a convention bump that already more than doubled up the bounce of his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, now is close tp triple the size of the Mitt "bounce." And the gap between the two bounces could grow greater still by the time Monday Night Football kicks off.
