ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) — On the eve of the Republican convention, a new national poll suggests the race for the White House remains dead even.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Sunday night shows the Obama-Biden ticket leading the McCain-Palin ticket by one point, 49 percent to 48 percent, a statistical dead heat.

LOL, and the Dems try to spin it as the Palin pick is a bust. What jokers.
Looks like the RAT convention may not have been the rousing success we were lead to believe. People also report they think McCain showed good judgment in picking Palin.
Great news all around.
And it’s CNN, a Pro-Obama agency.
And the GOP is yet to convene.
Trouble in the socialist paradise?
Interesting that without a convention McCain is gaining. AND the Obama bump they said would increase today, but did not...SO.../this will get interesting.
But only 3 % undecided. Seems low for this time of year.
They got a big bump on the final two days of their convention but we have since squashed it.
obama, it’s time for you to begin writing your concession speech.
Men appear to have a slightly favorably opinion of Palin than women; 41 percent of men view her favorably, five points higher than women.
I think all this Palin bashing going on in the MSM is really keeping the “messiah of hope” from getting his “message of hope” out.
are these rv’s or lv’s?
Can someone explain to me by how many points a convention is supposed to help a Presidential candidate’s poll numbers bounce ?
What were they expecting Obama’s poll bounce to be anyway ?
Hurricane Sarah has sucked up all Obama’s political oxygen.
Registered voters.
CNN reporterette (reporterrorette ?) now spinning the “expected” Obama bounce of 6-8% as “not expected” because “they have been campaigning so long everybody knows who they are” ...
So I guess the expected conventional wisdom convention bounce isn’t conventional wisdom?
Exactly. I do not trust a CNN poll, but if their poll pre- convention showed Obama ahead, and their poll now shows McCain ahead, it’s the trend that’s the good news for us.
The trend is our friend.
haha
Ok..that was corny!
I expect to see a big McCain bump next week—as the public sees him and Palin with their sleeves rolled up working to help people. It’s going to make a very marked juxtaposition to Obama in his Greek temple with celebs serenading him.
Let's hold off on that for a while, Holland.
The guy said Palin did not help in the women’s vote. BS I say!
53% more likly to vote Obama compared to 50% a week ago but she did add a couple points in the men’s vote.
Obama also dropped ^5 of the Republican vote down to only 5% now. Who are these idiot 5 percenters?
