So when McCain leads by two points in national polling, can we say that he has a chance at MN, OR, WA and ME?

If polls from those states show he does.

Maybe the beginnings of a slight bounce from the Middle East/Europe trip?

Maybe the beginnings of a slight bounce from the Middle East/Europe trip?

Well, according to Rasmussen:

In last night’s polling, 50% had already seen coverage of Obama’s Berlin speech. Initial reactions to the speech will be reported at 10:30 a.m. Eastern today.

Well, it look like people liked it by the polls, but Rasy is funny and may show people hated it so they can get on Fox News again.

Over half of Americans (55%) rate Barack Obama’s historic speech in Berlin yesterday good or excellent, and the Democratic presidential candidate is experiencing a modest bounce over John McCain nationally in the latest Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

In a new Rassmussen Reports national survey, 26% grade the speech, delivered before an enthusiastic crowd of more than 200,000, as Excellent. Twenty-nine percent (29%) say it was good. Nearly as many (23%) feel it was only Fair, and 18% rate it as Poor. These results are based upon the 50% of voters who had heard or seen coverage of the speech last night.

Even nearly a third of Republicans (32%) give the speech good or excellent marks, but Democrats are far more enthusiastic, with 75% feeling that way. However, 39% of Republicans rate the speech Poor versus only five percent (5%) of Democrats. Forty-seven percent (47%) of unaffiliated voters say the speech was good or excellent, while 16% characterize it as Poor.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Yay, Rasy isn't completely bias, as some might say.

Don't worry, he'll be on Sean Hannity's show tonight flaunting his latest polls about offshore drilling.

He's such a Republican hack.

Gallup at +6... seems like a bounce to me

With gallup at + 7, and some fairly good state numbers for Obama (- Q poll) we can assume he is back to his June lead for now.

[charltonNick]

Obama is much more consistently ahead than either Gore or Kerry at this stage, and further ahead. With that in mind, and as those two only lost by a small margin, I'd say it's looking good for Obama to be ahead come election day.

Obama's travel bounce has caused him to have an insurmountable lead over McCain

Stop it.  Stop stop stop.  Don't jinx this.  If McCain surmounts that insurmountable lead it'll be your fault.

John McCain is always at his best when he's trailing by an insurmountable margin.

Sorry, there's no Rudy to implode for him to take all his support in this race.

John McCain is always at his best when he's trailing by an insurmountable margin.

You know, people say that, and yet, he still lost by a fair bit in 2000 against Bush, and he really only won this year because all his competition 1) self-destructed by themselves or 2) split the conservative vote allowing him to win with a bare plurality.

It was a bit more than that.  

I wouldn't count your chickens just yet, my friend. Any candidate can implode.

[J. J.]

I wouldn't even say "implode."  5-7 points isn't a lot and Obama has had a lot of good press this week.
