Gallup/Zogby on McCain/Palin
Constitution Club ^ | Sunday, September 07, 2008 | The Hairy Beast

Posted on 09/07/2008 2:30:18 PM PDT by Mongeaux

The Beast’s predictions from Friday of a dead heat in the RCP.com average and +2 McCain by Wednesday are looking pretty feasible. The race has shrunk to +.08 Obama in overall polls at RCP.com, which is a 6 point shift in as many days. Expect it to continue on this way a little more as McCain’s convention sleigh coasts to a stop at the bottom of the hill.

On Gallup (McCain +3): This is the most, but not all of convention bounce - expect it to maybe even tick up a point or two then drop back down somewhat.

By the way, the Gallup poll which has McCain/Palin (damn that feels good) up by three was based on a HUGE SAMPLE. From Gallup:

The general-election results are based on combined data from Sep. 4-6, 2008. For results based on this sample of 2,765 registered voters, the maximum margin of sampling error is ±2 percentage points.
One-third of which was polled on Thursday before McCain gave his well-received acceptance speech. So expect another 1-2 points tomorrow. Right now this is an 11 point McCain swing, boys and girls - from -8 to +3 in FIVE DAYS!

It’s on Youtube. The context is missing, but what is there is pretty shocking.

It’s on George Steph.’s show, whatever it’s called. Today’s show.

Exactly. Registered=+2 for Dems. This poll is really a 50% poll for McCain. Very good news.
