McCain Takes Lead In Gallup For First Time In General Election

Uh oh. Today's Gallup tracking poll finds John McCain with a slim edge over Barack Obama -- the first time ever that McCain has led in their tracking poll since Obama sewed up the Democratic nomination June.

The numbers: McCain 46%, Obama 44%, with a ±2% margin of error.

A caveat: This poll was conducted almost entirely before last night's big convention speeches by Michelle Obama and Ted Kennedy.

So much for the "Biden bounce". Ya all have to face it; Obama must have been a crappy choice if he can't do better than the republican candidate at this point. I think that the rest of the world loves Obama more than the people who's vote counts....kind of like back in "04".

Have a good one!:s4:
