0bama gets a small post convention bounce which is quickly erased by McCain picking Palin for Veep. The media's spin is that Palin isn't helping McCain.

The Palin pick wipes out a most likely 10 point bounce.
To: Tramonto
Yes, if you ignore all polls except Gallup then this is true. However, considering the Gallup poll indicates a much larger swing to Obama then anyone else, it’s conclusions are highly suspect.

There is more good news out tonight. The new Time / CNN poll, conducted entirely after the DNC convention shows Obambi/Plugs - 49, McCain/Sarahcuda - 48.
They had Obambi +5 before the RAT convention so he actually had a negative four point bounce in their polls after his convention.
To: MNJohnnie
Rasmussen showed a 4 point bounce and Gallup 8. The events of the convention and the veep pick happened close enough together for it to be difficult to determine exactly what happened. I do believe that there was a small 0bama bounce that was erased by the Palin pick. They were expecting 10 points.

However, considering the Gallup poll indicates a much larger swing to Obama then anyone else, its conclusions are highly suspect.Gallup does not screen for party affiliation. They interview whoever picks up the phone.
As a result, they usually show bigger swings than other pollsters because Democrats are more likely to be willing to talk to pollsters after positive Democrat news (like their convention) and vice versa.

You are correct. I had two windows open and responded to the wrong thread.
Apologies to all.
To: comebacknewt
“he actually had a negative four point bounce....”
That would be a splat.
To: Tramonto
If I recall correctly, Kerry had a decent bounce out of his convention in 2004, and Bush didn't move until the Republican convention wrapped. I could be wrong.
If it is tied now, Obama is in trouble.

Well after the convention when America gets a closer look at Palin I wonder how the media will try to hide the bump McCain will get? Will we only see weeks old polls while they try to bail the water that the ship Obama is quickly taking on?

Either this writer is completely stupid, or he thinks we are. This comes under the category of “Sarah can’t swim” after being seen walking on water.

That’s what I’m thinking too. It seems like these people (Dems)_are always way ahead at this point.
To: beaversmom
Obama should be up 6-9 points in every poll.
He's flat with McCain in every poll but Gallup's, it seems.
