newsmax.com - Gallup Shocker: McCain Leads Obama

Gallup show McCain doing better then Obama and Rasmussen shows a dead heat but Rasmussen first post McCain speech wont be released until Monday. If they also show the same kinda numbers as well this can really change how thing are viewed in this election. Now the question is will this help other Republican's running for office or just specif to McCain.

Thanks
Robert

Update: It looks like I was right. Rasmussen flipped from Obama up by 1 to 2% on McCain now McCain is up by 1 to 2% not much but it also shows the same trend as Gallup. The trend is McCain gaining strength. That isn't good for the Democrats on a year were they would have really screwed up to lose. it looks like they did.

Newsmax.com – Gallup Shocker: McCain Leads Obama

The Republican National Convention has propelled John McCain into the lead in the race for the White House, according to a USA Today/Gallup Poll released on Sunday.

McCain has statistically erased Obama's lead when it comes to the issue of which candidate would better handle the economy -- the top issue among voters. Before the convention, Obama had a 19-point lead on that issue. Now, it's just a 3-point margin, within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows John McCain with a statistically insignificant one-point lead over Barack Obama.

In the first national polling results based entirely on interviews conducted after the Republican National Convention, McCain attracts 47% of the vote while Obama earns 46%. When "leaners" are included, it’s McCain 48% and Obama 47%.
