Republican John McCain's surprise announcement Friday of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate - some 16 hours after Democrat Barack Obama's historic speech accepting his party’s presidential nomination - has possibly stunted any Obama convention bump, the latest Zogby Interactive flash poll of the race shows.
The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon today, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, compared to 45% support for Obama/Biden.
In other words, the race is a dead heat.
The interactive online Zogby survey shows that both Obama and McCain have solidified the support among their own parties - Obama won 86% support of Democrats and McCain 89% of Republicans in a two-way head-to-head poll question not including the running mates. When Biden and Palin are added to the mix, Obama's Democratic support remains at 86%, while McCain's increases to 92%.
After the McCain "Veep" announcement on Friday, Palin was almost immediately hailed as a strong conservative, and those voters have rallied to the GOP ticket, the survey shows. Republicans gather in St. Paul, Minnesota this week to officially nominate McCain and Palin as their presidential ticket.
Overall, 52% said the selection of Palin as the GOP vice presidential nominee helps the Republican ticket, compared to 29% who said it hurt. Another 10% said it made no difference, while 10% were unsure. Among independent voters, 52% said it helps, while 26% said it would hurt. Among women, 48% said it would help, while 29% said it would hurt the GOP ticket. Among Republicans, the choice was a big hit - as 87% said it would help, and just 3% said it would hurt.

I thought we won in 2000 & 2004
I have absolutely no political experience out of living a lot of years, but i see a landslide in out future.
This is going to be a clear cut case of racism!
Obama would have won if Sarah’s mother had aborted her.
Funny. I keep laughing at people like you chirping about some “Bradley Effect” myth like it’s a fact.
You said you don't see how they can lose. Are you saying there was no way the conservative ticket could have lost in '00 or '04? Please...
If the Obama speech was a “Home Run” the Palin pick by the GOP was a game-winning Grand Slam.
Yes, but add up to 5% back in for a very impressive voter registration effort by the Obamabots.
It remains to be seen how many of these new voters will actually be able to put down the crack pipe or bong and find their way to the polls....
Whatever the outcome on November, I fully expect that Sarah Palin will in time become the first female President of the United States. She will be our Thatcher.
I’m sure some “Community Organizer” will assure that the crack-heads find their way to the polls...
Can’t wait for her convention speech.
For those who refuse to watch CNN, check it out Sat. night.
They have an excellent show “McCain Revealed”... detailing McCain’s life from his youth, through Annapolis Naval Academy, his travail in Vietnam, and his years at the War College.
It is EXCELLENT, fair beyond anything CNN has ever done, I believe.
No one with an ounce of pride in the USA could watch this show and not support McCain.
In fact, it almost makes me ashamed of all the ill things I’ve said about him the past seven years (not really, but I do see McCain in a much better light).
and..... I get a real kick out of people like you saying its not. lol Believe what you want. its a free country last I looked. Glad to give a smart guy like yourself a chuckle, you returned the favor in spades.

Hi Huck. Man was I a happy guy on Friday! I’ve been wanting McCain to go bold. And bold he went!
Her family’s feelings have been paramount to me. Imagine ... from Alaska to the center of the World. How does her husband feel, and her children?
good to see but please- let’s all take a deep breathe as it is a Zogby poll...not trying to be a party pooper want to be realistic...
if I see the Raz and Gallup polls move tomorrow I’ll start to get really excited...
If the Alaska breeding grounds produces beautiful intelligent women like Sarah Palin..... I'm moving there pronto!!!!
After all, Palin seems is a free-range woman, as beautiful and wholesome as the state she lives, with no artificial additives or plastic packaging.
On the other hand, Biden Obama and Hillary are stuffed with all kinds of artificial preservatives, MSG and probably red dye #3 (or is it blue dye #3), which is why they are so phony.
And it helps that Palin can shoot dinner and cook it, all in the same day.
In any case --
Please... it's OK to think it.
But don't say it out loud.
I'm superstitious that way.
. . . more like Same Sh*t, Same Color, just looks different because of the added sugar.
