Palin stunts and reverses Obama’s short lived bump
John McCain may be old but he is proving to be wise. His pick of Sara Palin caught everyone off guard and completely obliterated an Obama bounce. All everyone in talking about is Sara Palin.
Pollster John Zogby has McCain up 47% to 45% just hours after the Gallup rolling average had Obama with a decent bounce. Problem is that it was a dead cat bounce. The Zogby Poll was a flash poll taken completely after Obama’s Acceptance speech and the Palin Announcement.
New York - Republican John McCain’s surprise announcement Friday of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate - some 16 hours after Democrat Barack Obama’s historic speech accepting his party’s presidential nomination - has possibly stunted any Obama convention bump, the latest Zogby Interactive flash poll of the race shows.
Dennis Rasmussen has his daily tracking poll at Obama 47% McCain 43%. Showing Obama’s dead cat bounce just about erased. This week the republicans have their convention and we will see what happens there with a bounce for McCain.

This is very bad news for the Obama/Biden ticket. Just coming off a very flashy and elitist Democratic convention, Obama should be way up in the polls right now. The GOP hasn’t even had their convention. McCain just announced his VP pick… that’s all. Bad news indeed.
