Oh Dear - Bounce is deflating? (voters, democratic, Republicans, polls)

Gallup Daily

Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election. (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll - broken link)

shows Barack Obama ahead of John McCain by three percentage points both with and without leaners. That’s exactly the same edge Obama enjoyed a week ago on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.

Really, no bounce in Rasmussen poll. Was at 4 on Friday, now 3, so he actually lost a point.

There have been significant changes in perception of John McCain in the two days of polling since he named Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Since then, 49% of Republicans voice a Very Favorable opinion of McCain. That’s up six percentage points from 43% just before the announcement. Also, 64% of unaffiliated voters now give positive reviews to McCain, up ten points since naming his running mate.

Palin herself made a good first impression and is now viewed favorably by 53% of voters nationwide. Her counterpart, Joe Biden, is viewed favorably by 48%.

So, a virtual unknown bests a 36 year Senator from the get-go.

VP Sarah Palin (aka The Bounce Killer)

Be careful, when you post facts like that, you'll have the libs here looking for the nearest high roof to jump off of.

Biden caused Obama to loose 4% in the polls.

Palin nullified Obama's bounce.

Which one was the better choice again?

Gallup still has Obama up by 6....

Are these polls taken after the Greek God gave his speech? If yes, then boy o boy, Dems are in big DO-DO.

They are an average of Thursday (Obama's speech), Friday (the first day of McCains pick), and today. I will wait until Friday when the RNC to see where it all stands before I will judge her impact.

So a mediocre (my opinion of course) VP pick by the GOP and a historic speech by the Greed God and his message of Change (which is a false slogan), and the Dems only leading by single digits? LOL wow
