Obama's Convention Bounce Grows
By Eric Kleefeld - August 29, 2008, 1:08PM


Today's Gallup tracking poll shows Barack Obama continuing to enjoy a convention bounce, and it may still be growing.

The numbers: Obama 49%, McCain 41%, well outside the ±2% margin of error. Yesterday, Obama was up by a 48%-42% margin, after having fallen behind McCain by two points in Gallup just as the convention was beginning. This morning's Rasmussen poll had Obama moving into a 49%-45% lead.

Note that this is a three-day sample that is just starting to take into account the impact from Bill Clinton's full-hearted endorsement of Obama, and we have yet to see any polling from after Obama's big speech last night.

------------------------------------------

Note this is from Yesterday.

Also Note that Gustav is taking up more of the News Cycle as it became a Cat 3 Hurricane and is Taking up now more of McAncient's and Palins wind out of their sails. Plus we're starting to put the pieces of Palin together.

Question and I may be naive on this...will Sarah Palin give McCain a boost?

Judging by the look on his face yesterday, it's fairly obvious he'd like to give her a "boost"

In all seriousness she will definitely give him a small boost. A boost that will quickly evaporate once people get to know how she really is.

Ok My Prediction:

Obama at 58% John MCCain at 36%

By Next Friday
