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.

Exactly. This says that McCain has now reached the magic 50% threshhold, and that he really has something like a 5% lead. It’s hugh, and series.
