Seems to me that there’s always a time lag before reactions actually show up in the polls. I’m not sure why people seem to expect that a three day rolling poll will be definitve on the third day, when it almost never happens that way. Even when people react strongly to something, it can take awhile for that sensation to settle into an actual position. I can’t imagine that we’ll really know anything particularly reliable till Monday — at the earliest.

Zogby: McCain-Palin Now Lead By (Almost) 4Update: It’s a Genuine Black-Swan Phenomenon…

Boom. Forget the numbers, which are always squiffy. Observe the direction. But if you do what to look at actual numbers, note that when Palin and Biden aren’t mentioned, McCain only has a three point lead. With the running mates……

The Democrats are saying: Sarah Palin is a bad choice for the McCain ticket.
The Democrats are thinking: Damn! Why didn’t Obama select a woman V.P. candidate?

Point Two: Joe B. goes in for the operation next Tuesday.

Absolutely.

Does the MSNBC human resources team throw out every resume that they get that doesn’t have “shameless sneering condescension” listed in the first paragraph of the applicant’s list of credentials.

But the bounce still has not arrived.

Oh, it arrived alright. Palinmania is everywhere. Most of it is very positive. Hearts and minds are changing.

[...] Rasmussen: As McCain has begun to chip away as Obama’s convention bounce, most of his gains have come among women voters. Obama still leads 51% to 44% among women, but that seven-point edge is just half the fourteen point lead he enjoyed last Tuesday. McCain leads by three among men, little changed in recent days.

Maybe Obama should start saying that he will the the first female president. That sort of strategy seemed to work for Bill Clinton.

It doesn’t bother me that Ms. Maddow chooses to look like an East German shotputter from the 80s whose testosterone level is too high for (her) to compete as a woman. That’s (her) business as long as (she) stays away from my daughter.

It’s this talking head’s shameless sneering condescension that puts (her) in the “insufferable liberal twit” pantheon along with a host of others. Air America hasn’t lost a daughter–MSNBC has gained another SOB, who continue to outnumber their viewers.

My wife is a pro choice Democrat and is voting McCain Palin. She is offended by the attacks on Governor Palin and said she will contribute and is even willing to volunteer.

Well know hope! Change we can believe in.

very interesting numbers. While I think Palin will attract a fair amount of voters…I actually think issues might have something to do with it, perhaps tradiional family values.
I really liked what McCain had to say about school choice, keeping taxes lows, and staying on offense in the war on terror. As a mom, those issues are very important to me.
As someone living in IL…taxes here are sky high..*sigh*

SuperCool’s comments from Rasmussen/Gallup are what I have been saying for days. The weekend polling usually skews left — and today’s numbers from Friday are the least reliable. GOPers have better things to do on Friday nights than talk to pollsters; been that way for decades.

They had Rasmussen and a guy from Gallup on O’Rielly last night and both of them said the big day to start looking at the numbers would be Monday, and even then, both of them said it could take until as late as Wendsday to get the full picture on how McCain/Palin have come out of the convention. These early signs are encouraging, but not complete. Let’s wait and see what the numbers look like on Monday morning when they release those numbers.

These early number do look pretty good though.

McCain knows that the slow consistent torture is the most effective.
Point by point, week by week, Obama slips…and it is torture.

I think the huge silent majority in the middle has finally had enough of the media and liberal smears of us.

We are tired of being called rubes, rednecks, and yahoos.

The US magazine response and Oprah shows this may finally be happening.

Watch out Hollywood when we stop going to yourt trashy movies and buying the DVDs that glorify queers and perverts and denigrate Middle America, Armed Forces etc.

Take America back from the filth and sewage that the porn industry and Hollywood send into our homes. Don’t buy the CDs from the music industry. Boycott sponsors of filthy prime time TV programs.

You are correct, of course, and I apologize to Ms. Maddow and to everyone here for my intemperate remark.

When advertisers come to understand the demographic of the MSNBC audience only includes those interested in creative uses for mayonnaise, recently sheared sheep and getting high, the only advertisers will be Hellman’s, Nair and Zig Zag.
