Political Insider: Obama in Trouble
CBS Poll: Presidential Race Tied
The convention floor was abuzz all yesterday with the news of the CBS poll showing a dead tie (42-42) in the presidential race. And the poll, conducted through Wednesday, couldn’t reflect the impact of John McCain’s speech, or the full impact of Sarah Palin’s late Wednesday night.
It reflected opinions only after the Democrats’ convention, Barack Obama’s incredible speech, the Palin selection, and the early, Gustav-depressed GOP gathering.
That augers ill for the Democrats. Tonight’s polling could bring evidence that the Obama candidacy is in big trouble.
First, the GOP convention managed to disprove the central premise of the Democratic assault on McCain: that he is a clone of President Bush. The Republicans wisely marginalized Bush to a non-prime-time videotaped speech, and sprinkled disappearing dust on Dick Cheney.
