McCain is enjoying a convention bump.
Very well I might add. He not only successfully countered Obama's convention bump (which the Republicans feared would be up to 20 points) but managed to get a rather decent one of his own.

He needs to thank his running mate for that.
 
Perhaps Obama might need to thank Biden for his current standing.

The only thing wrong with Biden (in some people's eyes) is the fact that he isn't Hillary Clinton. That said, McCain's bounce is from the convention and his choice of Sarah Palin. At some point, John McCain and Sarah Palin will actually HAVE to answer questions. They cannot avoid the issues, or their records, forever. When that day comes, then we'll see how the wonderful world of polling numbers works out for them.

And if McCain is still ahead?
 
aw c'mon! it's entirely possible that McCain and Palin can out-debate Obama and Biden...

McCain's pick of Palin has nothing to do with governing the United States and everything to do with winning the Presidency. My fear is that this guy has had such a hardon for the presidency for so long now that he'll die from shock after the oath and we'll have the mayor of Wasilla Alaska for our President. :(

She might help clear out Washington by shooting a few long-time senators.

That's a good thing, right?

Then Vice-President Biden can make sure he urges President Obama to pardon her in 2016. ;)
 
Lastest polls show McCain with 48.2% average and Obama 45.2% average.

If election held today?...Electoral votes would be tied 250-250. :)

Please please PLEASE never use the words "electoral college" and "votes tied" in the same sentence ever again.

Please.:csad:
 
Yep. From a more reputable source than Yahoo:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/maps/obama_vs_mccain/

Obama/Biden - 217
McCain/Palin - 174
Toss Up - 147

Dude, Yahoo's map is USING that website as its source.

Those figures are using a "Prediction Market" where "Intrade lets investors 'buy shares' in politcal candidates.

The 250-250 figures are using an average of the polling results from various sources. Click my link. You'll see what I mean.


And according to those same sources, the Polling is showing a recent change of +0.2% for Obama and +0.1% for McCain. And the recent changes for the "Prediction Market" which you are quoting in your post is showing a recent change of -3.5% for Obama and +3.5% for McCain with just a 7.5% lead by Obama left (which of course means that a 3.75% rise for McCain would put them even 50%/50%).
