McCain cracks 50% USA Today: "Convention lifts McCain over Obama" The Republican National Convention has given John McCain and his party a significant boost, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken over the weekend shows, as running mate Sarah Palin helps close an "enthusiasm gap" that has dogged the GOP all year.Nice swing. And there's more, buried near the bottom: In the new poll, taken Friday through Sunday, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote. The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of error of +/- 3 points for both samples.Ten points? Among likely voters? (*rubbing eyes*) I'm not sure how the USA Today/Gallup differs from the "regular" Gallup poll which has the race at a tighter 48%-45% for McCain but I think it's safe to say the Republicans had a good convention. Extra - Kim at Wizbang has more. Update (9/8) - The Hedgehog Report has all the latest polls; just keep scrolling down.

"Polling numbers can be misleading. Don't believe any of them... wait! Except THIS one! Whooooo!!!"
Couldn't we just skip ahead to the Weekly Reader poll and be done with this noise already? (As for the USA Today poll, I wonder if the support of those 63 unregistered voters is solid. Or can they be swayed to the other candidate they're prohibited from voting for?) # posted by

Does the 44 percent of the sample intending to vote for Obama include the dead? I've heard most graveyards vote a straight Democratic ticket and Gallup unjustly excludes them from his sample.

Speaking of graveyards and ghosts of the past, don't forget to skim off all the registered Democrats who'll be "mistakenly" scrubbed off the voting rolls. Must keep those voter lists tidy!

Including all those registered ex-cons. People removed from the lists vote provisionally, in Chicago, the dead also vote in perpetuity.
