Mitt Romney is riding a modest surge in the polls following his nomination Thursday night at the Republican National Convention — now leading President Obama by 47-44 percent in one survey.
Romney was trailing Obama by two points in the Rasmussen daily tracking poll before the GOP confab in Tampa, Fla. — but led by three in yesterday’s survey.
In Ohio yesterday, Romney marked the start of college football season by urging voters to “get a new coach.”
“It’s time for America to see a winning season again, and we’re going to bring it to them,” he told a crowd of nearly 3,000 in Cincinnati.
The president yesterday attacked the GOP convention as a gathering full of talk but lacking in new ideas.
“There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices, but nobody ever actually bothered to tell you what they were,” Obama said in Urbandale, Iowa, kicking off his “Road to Charlotte” tour leading up to Tuesday’s opening of the Democratic National Convention.
