Rasmussen Daily: Obama 47 - 43 McCain (Obama down 1), with leaners 50 - 45

Swamp Thing and Rubber Face made a negligible impact. I suspect Palin and McPOWWOW's speeches will make it very, very close for a few days come the weekend.

1. Did last nights speech impact this poll, or do we have to wait a day to get a firm grip on it?

2. Have to wait until tomorrow.

I think their polling from yesterday will have been earlier than McTrash's speech.

6. Before Palin’s speech...

Frm the poll:

"Virtually all of the interviews for today’s update were completed before Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s speech last night."

3. He's not down in the latter category at all

[Franks Wild Years]

5. Quite correct.

I was looking at the page with previous polls and mistook the top one for today's, and the one below for yesterday's. Ha!

4. He isn't down one in leaners, he's at the same place he was. n/t

7. Notice McCain's numbers aren't really increasing

Not surprised given the negative tone of the Repuke convention. I'm not sure we'll see much of a Palin and McSame bounce. Palin was just preaching to the choir, while Obama was speaking to everyone.

8. With leaners included it's 50-45 for Obama, no change from yesterday

but I expect to see that the GOP will get a modest boost from their convention, then it will swing back to Obama.
