I Know Polls Don't Tell Us Everything, But...

A USA Today/Gallup poll to be released Monday has John McCain up 54-44 over Barack Obama. This is a 17% change from a post-Republican Convention poll that showed McCain down 7%.

Obviously it is hard to know if this poll truly shows voter opinion, especially since a Gallup poll released today had McCain up 3%. That is still a convention "bounce" of 11%, since Gallup had Obama up 8% a week ago.

Rassmussen and Gallup polls released tomorrow will give us a better indication of the full impact of the Republican convention.
