The sleeping Conservative Voter is awake.

The positive impact of the GOP convention on polling indicators of Republican strength is further seen in the operation of Gallup's "likely voter" model in this survey. Republicans, who are now much more enthused about the 2008 election than they were prior to the convention, show heightened interest in voting, and thus outscore Democrats in apparent likelihood to vote in November. As a result, Republican candidates now lead Democratic candidates among likely voters by 5 percentage points, 50% to 45%.

Yep,
By putting up such a rediculous joke of a candidate nationally and a smart campaign being run by McCain and the republicans in general, we are starting to see the movement down ticket.
Its still early, but this is beginging to look more and more like a route of the Dems folks.
Talk of dems picking up seats in congress are going to become a thing of the past very soon, and the real possibility of R’s gaining seats may appear.
If this happens, especially considering that more R’s are up for re-election than dems, and the economy, and George Bush being run as an issue..... you are talking a complete and total repudiation of Fauxbama and the DEMOCRATS, if it gets to this level. Something that should not even be possible under classical political thinking.
But then again, “thinking” and “talking” are no subsitute for thinking and doing.
Let’s wait until the ad depicting BO at SNL while Houston is getting wiped off the map.
Good news. But, I wonder: Does John McCain care if he has a Republican congress?
Its change John better believe in!
Good to see but not necessarily conclusive. People often vote differently for individual candidates than they do on generic surveys and you’d really need a district by district poll to be able to make real projections.
It sure nice to have a CHANCE at winning instead of perpetual whine mode...
GOP now has 5% LEAD on generic congression ballot among likely voters. Here’s something even LS will like. :)
He said at the convention he cares.
Thanks. Things have really changed!
In other words this wasn’t the kind of change Obama was looking for!!
The sleeping Conservative Voter is awake.
I missed it. I hope he repeats it often! Thanks.
If this happens, the knives will come out for Obama. Instead of winning in a year DemocRATS were favored to win the presidency and add to their majorities in congress, Obama has managed to put the DemocRATS in position to lose both the presidency and congressional majorities. In this case, Obama's senate seat may be winnable in 2010.
More good news. Maybe we should call it “foo-news”?
The good news just keeps coming.
We need to continue the fight like we’re behind. Keep beating back those liberals. They’re not dead until we drive a stake through their commie hearts.
If the GOP has a real 5% lead-—and I just don’t believe it-—then that should translate into a gain of about 10 seats. So . . . find me the 10 seats the GOP is going to pick up. Northup could stage a push (she only has to make up 3%). There is a seat in PA that might flip back. Otherwise, I’m not seeing them.

Another fairly strong polling day for John McCain:

You mean we aren’t winning back DeLay’s and Foley’s seats?? I thought those were gimme’s.
