The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday—the day before the Republican National Convention is scheduled to begin—shows Barack Obama ahead of John McCain by three percentage points both with and without leaners. That’s exactly the same edge Obama enjoyed a week ago on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.
Today’s numbers show a one-point improvement for McCain, but Obama still leads 47% to 44%. When "leaners" are included, it’s Obama 49%, McCain 46%
There have been significant changes in perception of John McCain in the two days of polling since he named Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Since then, 49% of Republicans voice a Very Favorable opinion of McCain. That’s up six percentage points from 43% just before the announcement. Also, 64% of unaffiliated voters now give positive reviews to McCain, up ten points since naming his running mate.
Palin herself made a good first impression and is now viewed favorably by 53% of voters nationwide. Her counterpart, Joe Biden, is viewed favorably by 48%.

Economy slowing, gas prices high, housing in bad shape, and an unpopular war. By all rights Obama should be 15 points ahead. The Dems should be worried, VERRRRRYYYYYYY worried.
Yep. In other words, I keep wondering if it’s all going to come apart. Then again, there is always that Giants-New England scenario.
Really? Not saying I don’t believe you, but how could they have McCain up last night when he was down 7-8 in Gallup today? Or was that yesterday? They can’t swing that wildly.
