Gallup: Obama Up By 1

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Biden, Democrats, Independents, McCain, Polls, Republicans

Obama actually gains a net 3 today, with McCain losing 2 and him gaining 1. Obviously this race remains incredibly tight as we head towards the most important speech of Obama’s career on Thursday.

The details…

interviewing by Gallup on Tuesday night showed a stronger Obama performance, which could augur the beginnings of a bounce for Obama, as is evident more often than not immediately after a candidate’s convention. Gallup’s official “post-convention bounce” reading on Obama’s support will be based on interviewing conducted Friday through Sunday.

However, with the McCain campaign hinting that it will attempt to dampen an Obama bounce with a quick announcement of the Republican vice presidential nominee on Friday, any effect from the Democratic convention may be short-lived.

More tomorrow…
