The Obama campaign expected a huge bump in the polls following his “rock star” appearance in Denver less than two weeks ago – that expectation landed in a thud after the announcement of Gov. Sarah Palin the day after his speech and last week’s GOP convention.
According to the most recent USA Today/Gallup Poll [1] the only campaign surging is John McCain’s.
McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters.
-and-
McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote.
Quite a turnaround from expectations.
