I suspect the lead will grow until Tuesday or Wednesday. Republicans always do better during the workweek it seems.

Once the Muslim comment by Obama finishes making its way around this election could be a rout...

[GOP Poet]

tomorrow will include all three days polled after McCain's speech. That will give us the clearest idea of the impact overall of both he and Sarah's speeches. Can't wait. This is great news though.

This morning on ABC, the Constitutional Law professor referred to Biden as the “President of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations”.

It’s Chairman, Senator.

Should we all meet on Election Day at the MSDNC building and cheer on Keith, Chrissie and Andrea to Jump ??

I never watch PMSNBC but if McCain/Palin wins this on Nov. 4th, (which is looking more and more likely) I’m going to tune in just to watch Ol-Bore-Man’s head explode has he tries to explain the Dem loss to “racism”.

Polls are meaningless. It’s the Electoral College. M/P need to get Pennsylvania and keep Ohio and Florida.

How sweet it will be when Obama and Biden drag their sorry butts back to the Senate where they will be presided over by the President of the Senate, Sarah Palin. How sweet it will be...

I tend to put very little stock in polls, but this one does contain a lot of things that bode well for Mccain/Palin

1. Gallup tends to oversample dems.
2. The poll is Registered voters, Likely voter totals almost always trend more to the R.
3. this only contains 2 days after McCain’s speech, so the entire convention bounce is not yet included.
4. R’s tend to poll worse on weekends, and this contains a Friday and Saturday.
5. This is without Obama’s “my Muslim Faith” faux Pas.

That would be sweet too !

I never thought about that scenario but talk about complete humiliation....WOW

Praise ala and George S. for reminding him what faith is is today .

McCain 48 to 45 among registered voters, means a bigger lead with likely voters.

But there is plenty of time for bombshells, lead changes, etc.

And how a national 3 point lead translates into state by state results is the biggest deal.

I have seen scenarios whereby Obama could lose the national vote, and win the electoral vote, like Bush did.

Finally I believe televised debates have usually impacted Presidential voting quite a bit.
