10 points!
In the new Gallup poll, taken Friday through Sunday, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote. The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of error of +/— 3 points for both samples.

Wow!!!
I think this is the first time McCain has gone over 50%!

"The convention bounce has helped not only McCain but also attitudes toward Republican congressional candidates and the GOP in general."
Uh-oh.

Rasmussen, the only poll worth a damn, has them tied at 46%. It looks like it will be close.

I heard it's going to be a 10-15 point lead? I think thats because of palin rally the base. Who knows see Monday and how hard obama attacks now if so you know his really in big trouble?

The upswing in McCain's numbers directly correlates to the upswing in boners Palin gave the republican base. Like any other woman, nobody really cares about her substance as long as they can picture themselves firin one off on her glasses.

i argree with you.(yes i said i agree with you lol). polls only tell half the story. but mccain should not be this close, should he?
(Data from Rasmussen Markets currently gives Obama a 57.4 % chance of winning in November. Other key stats of Election 2008 can still be seen at Obama-McCain: By the Numbers.)
but we got 3 debates and 60 days or so??

looks like it wont be a close vote after all...
that having been said..there actually seems to be a major neocon backlash..if not an all-out coup..happening as we speak...the crowds at palin/mccain rallies have become positively nazi-like...

I am just waiting for the debates. This is going to be interesting regardless of the outcome, so I for one just hope I can be entertained lol.
On a side note, I think Gore lost in 2000 by a margin of about three impatient sighs picked up by mikes at the first debate.
I do agree that this will be CLOSE. I think another split between popular totals and electoral votes is a distinct possibility.
