I'd call that more than a "bump" and I love it.

Sorry about that, folks. Should have checked the Gallup numbers on their site before posting.
Still good news IMHO.

But of course, the only poll that counts is the one taken on election day.

Mtnbkr's numbers are correct. Registered voters are going for McCain/Palin over Obama/Biden 50/46. The numbers I saw on Fox and posted were for "likely" voters.

Nothing to be sorry about. Gallup currently has two different polls out, one of likely voters (McCain +10%) and one of registered voters (McCain +4%).Sorry about that, folks. Should have checked the Gallup numbers on their site before posting.
Still good news IMHO.

Besides, likely voter polls tend to be more accurate than registered voter polls.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday-
Quote
McCain leads by four points among men while Obama leads by three among women.
On Tuesday 9/2, when Obamas lead peaked, he had a fourteen point advantage among women.
That is one heck of a drop.

Rasmussen's results also tend to downplay short term volatility. Sudden spikes in the results don't appear in Rasmussen's data as strongly as they do in other pollsters.

That's what worries me. There are more "registered voters" in Milwauke County than there are "voters"...

WASHINGTON (CNN) When it comes to support for Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, a new national poll suggests men and women dont see eye-to-eye.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey out Tuesday morning indicates that 62 percent of men questioned have a favorable opinion of the Alaska governor, nine points higher than women. In the poll, conducted Friday through Sunday entirely after then end of the Republican convention, 23 percent of men have an unfavorable view of John McCains running mate, seven points lower than women.
The gender gap is also apparent when it comes to whether Palin is qualified to serve as president if needed. Fifty-seven percent of male respondents in the poll said Palin was qualified, 14 points higher than women. A majority of females polled, 55 percent, said that Palin is not qualified to serve as president.
Half of all respondents think Palin is qualified to serve as president, twenty points lower than Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, the Democratic vice presidential nominee.

Oh and where were all these people who think Biden is qualified to be president when he was running for president? Pretty much invalidates the poll right there.

True, as many people who will likely be voting aren't registered yet. Like me. Won't be registered for another week.

I predict that, with the MSM's continuing help, Obama will be up a solid seven points by this time two weeks from now. And he will carry at least that margin through until election day.
Not good.
