This should include all of the Monday negative main stream media blitz on Palin but no GOP convention impact yet (I think).

The leftist Obama hate candle towards Gov. Palin that burns at both ends, burns half as long.

Not bad, it appears that Monday was a very bad polling day for McCain, it went to Obama by 10 pts or oven more.

Tuesday was not that bad, McCain trailing by 3-4 pts in a daily sample. If we get any convention bounce, we should get within 2 by the middle of next week, I hope.

just heard this on radio

If you were lying on an operating table waiting for open heart surgery, and you had a choice between a young out of Med School Doctor or an older Doctor who performed Open Heart surgery 1000’s of time, who would you pick...?

Great analogy

...two days of the Labor Day weekend (+3 -1 = +2), Obama's Greek Temple convention "bounce" (+3), Palin bounce minus Palin media smears +0. +5 is about right.

Everyone should be watching Palin's speech tonight, when the general voting public sees she's not really an Alaskan redneck who looks and speaks like an extra out of "Deliverance" McCain should get a bounce from that. At most they saw her brief speech on Saturday. Really need to wait for the polling released Thursday and Friday the 11th and 12th to see.

IMO those whom focus on the dreams of the Pollsters are in for a shock this coming November.

The Pollster’s blew it last couple of elections, and this one is even more volatile. The Pollsters are going to prove to be worthless.

Good to see Obambi's lead didn't grow further.

Tonight is a huge night. I think most agree Palin was a "big risk / big reward" kind of pick. So far, Palin's impact on the ticket has been slightly negative because of the hit job by the RATs and the MSM.

If she does well tonight, and I think she will, then we will see the "big reward" start to pay off.

Republicans don't often get much of a bounce from their conventions. I have no idea why not nor am I much worried about it. What Republicans do in September. October and Novemeber is the vetting of the Democrat candidate that the MSM won't do. McCain and 527's will drive up Obamas negatives by focusing on his inexperience, his relationship with a known terrorist Bill Ayers, his attendance for 20 years at Reverned Wrights hatefest and his opposition to protecting babies who survive abortions in law.

Will it be enough? Maybe, maybe not but at least the truth will out and perhaps we haven't hit the breaking point in AMerica yet where 50+% of Americans don't pay taxes and don't know which way is up.

It would also be a weekend poll.

Republicans out doing something with the family, Democrats home boozing it up, waiting for that text message from Barry.

Its a poll ceiling, McCain seems stuck in the mid to low 40s. That is a problem. Hopefully with a modest convention bounce he can pick up enough undecideds to pull into the high 40s (where Obama currently resides in almost every poll).

For those of you who discredit, or discount polls as erroneous or biased, I point to 2004 and 2006 where they were extremely accurate in foretelling election day results.

Good point. This is the best the media can do rh? They’ve spenty how much air time and print type trying to destroy Palin, and Obama has a 5 point lead? This race is over after tonight, McCain by 10.
