Damn. I’m just hoping he doesn’t going over 50 but that looks like a foregone conclusion right now. Maybe the Palin choice will help with tonight’s polling.
August 29th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
not bad.
August 29th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
this is nothing to worry over
August 29th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Is that the best they can do? The gap will start to close again fast!

This only includes Obama’s speech for a few of the respondents on the West Coast. Tomorrow we will know what effect Obama’s speech had. The next day we get an idea about Palin.

Mondays results will tell what bounce Obama really got..
August 29th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I’m encouraged that this is only 2 points worse than yesterday. I agree that Monday’s results are what we need to be concerned with.

That’s the crest of the tide; he only went up one today, and McCain only dropped one. Wait for the HUGE Palin bump, then the convention.
August 29th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
I’m done looking at polls until Sept 8th when both conventions have had time to set in.
A little disappointed though that Obama looks like he’ll break 50%.

this day keeps getting better…

Don’t worry about the numbers. This is typical. Obama has been the only news all week. Next week is McCain’s turn.

Kavon, could you restore my comment please.

Ooh! I guessed right in Oxendine’s post. A +8 bounce!
August 29th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
It’s going to go higher. He’ll probably end up with +10
August 29th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
No it’s not. This is Obama’s peak and McCain will be leading by the end of next week.

“Ooh! I guessed right in Oxendine’s post. A +8 bounce!”
Not necessarily, Alex. Sean’s comparison was last Sunday’s Gallup weekly poll with this Sunday’s.
