Polls for what they are worth, give a general idea of where a candidate or issue stands.  I don't think polls are accurate enough to show small differences and are highly subject to bias.  The two polls shown below but are handy to show trends.  More importantly in this case is the lack of a convention bounce for Obama.  What ever your feelings about each candidate Palin has redefined this election, notice all of the chatter about it on this forum?.  BTW, get used to the term PUMA(party unity my ass), these are the disgruntled Hillary supporters.

This is actually becoming interesting 

 

Zogby Poll: Equilibrium in the POTUS Race!

Brash McCain pick of AK Gov. Palin neutralizes historic Obama speech, stunts the Dems' convention bounce

---

UTICA, New York - Republican John McCain's surprise announcement Friday of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate - some 16 hours after Democrat Barack Obama's historic speech accepting his party’s presidential nomination -  has possibly stunted any Obama convention bump, the latest Zogby Interactive flash poll of the race shows.

The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon today, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, compared to 45% support for Obama/Biden.

In other words, the race is a dead heat.

I feel no compulsion to play your games, nor prove myself to you.  Honestly, I can't think of a single policy with which I agree with any candidate 100% on their position.

Doa, with whom I've had quite lengthy political discussions, can attest than I'm no blind democratic supporter.......but I do happen to find more faults with the republicans than with the democrats based largely on their religious "evidence" which they use to support so much of their rhetoric.
