United States presidential candidate John McCain now retains a lead over Barack Obama in several polls conducted in the past few days. Both Zogby International and Rasmussen Reports have McCain with a slight, but not statistically significant lead. The most recent Gallup tracking poll has McCain with a statistical lead of 5.0 percent. The Day to Day Politics Poll Average also has a slight, but not statistically significantly lead of 0.4% for McCain.
Obama had a 6.0 percent lead in the Day to Day Politics Poll Average after the Democratic National Convention, but now is trailing after the Republican National Convention and the announcement of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate. This is the first time McCain has led Obama in the poll average since the two candidates emerged as their party's presumptive nominees after the primaries.
After McCain chose Palin, the current Governor of Alaska, as his vice presidential candidate and the Republican National Convention, a Gallup poll had shown that the percentage of Republicans who are enthusiastic about voting has increased by 18%. The Democrats enthusiasm has only increased by 10% since the addition of Joe Biden to the nomination ticket and after the Democratic National Convention.
The Day to Day Politics Poll Average for the past week used the Gallup Tracking poll, the Rasmussen Tracking poll, the CNN poll, USA Today/Gallup, Hotline/FD, the CBS News and the Zogby poll.

Most confusing. Sheesh.

lol. Sorry. I meant 2008.
To be fair to McCain, Bush’s approval rating made it such that unless the Democrats nominated John Edwards (whose sex scandal got exposed after the party’s nation convention) or someone similar, about no Republican was going to win that race. The country was ready to kick the GOP out of the White House big time.
He was in on the plan to lose. He thought asking a little known governor from Alaska would make sure he would lose but the plan almost backfired.
How many here voted more for Palin than McStain? I live in AZ and I have never voted for this putz for anything. Well, in 2007 for Prez, but like I said; it was for Palin not him.
As a senator he would say whatever the public wanted to hear to get elected then do the opposite. I can’t believe there are so many stubbornly ignorant people in this state.
I’ve come to the conclusion that we should have voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012.
the plan was for him to loose...
Sarah the barracuda almost pulled him yelling and screaming across the finish line....
I hate being used..
never....nada...impossible for anyone, anything to be worse for our country and our future than obungo....
I liked Sarah, but I’m glad McCain lost. I’m glad Romney lost too. We ended up with Trump, so having Obama for 8 years was worth it.
McCain or Obama, Soros had both of them in his pocket...
I remember driving home from a job in northern NH and listening to the returns from one of the primaries. I got home and told my wife that Obama did not say much, but he said it better than anyone has in years.
McCain never should have stopped campaigning. That was a mistake. But he was never going to win. Never.
History, not News Current Events
Before Palin his audience was smaller then Hillarys
The real kicker was when he told a voter in Minnesota that obama “was a good man” and woukd be a fine president.
I voted for McCain in the 2008 general election. I was very frustrated because I thought at the time that if McCain’s campaign staff had fought Obama with the same vigor as they attacked their own vice presidential candidate, McCain would have won.
As bad as the Obama administration was, I now wonder if the 2008 election was a blessing in disguise. I greatly fear what the bitter, treacherous and vindictive man that John McCain has revealed himself to be might have done with the power of the Presidency.
Wow! Now that’s a trifecta.
That was his Palin bump.
McCain would have been just as bad a POTUS as 0bama and would have destroyed the Republican party for good by signing an amnesty bill
Sarah actually cared about winning in 2008. That enthusiasm was and is infectious.
McCain wanted to lose.
