On the one hand, this poll seems strange because there is such a big gap between RV and LV (50-46 RV and 54-44 LV), and as we know, convention bounces usually fade.
On the other hand, this was a Fri-Sun poll, so it may have had a slight Dem weekend tint on that basis. Also, Obama’s bump did not max out till the Tuesday after his convention, so McCain’s bump may not even have maxed out yet.
Interesting times. Let’s carefully watch the Obama camp for signs of panic this week.
This may not be convention related except in a minor way; it may be the Palin effect in a BIG way.
(in best Obama impression) Uhhh....heh....uhh..you haven't noticed those huge dripping bullets of sweat yet? LOL
Gallup’s Likely Voter screen may take the “Bradley effect” into account.
What’s with the weird music on Obama’s commercials from 1950’s-era hygiene movies? After trying to tie McCain to President Bush (which is a laughable effort), I keep waiting for a geeky guy in a white lab coat to come on and say “better living through chemistry and Obama”. LOL.
Maybe that’s the sound of panic. . . after all, it’s the kind of music that Obamaphiles probably think grown-ups listen to, ha!
