Read the last sentence:
The latest Gallup tracking poll shows Sen. Barack Obama's advantage over Sen. John McCain "has been shrinking since the start of the Republican National Convention, and is now down to just two percentage points -- 47% to 45% -- too close to call."

The latest Rasmussen tracking poll shows Obama barely edging McCain, 46% to 45%.

Clearly, McCain is enjoying a bounce out of the GOP convention as he closes the gap with Obama. Today's numbers include polling done from Wednesday through Friday of last week; the Sunday and Monday numbers will include the full impact of McCain's acceptance speech. It should be interesting.

Nate Silver previews the next few days: "Last night and tonight should be among the best individual nights of polling that the Republicans see all year. If the best they can do is close the race to a tie, or an Obama +1 on those nights, they are not going to win the race based on inertia alone." This must be why they've re-started their "unpatriotic" campaign again. They resort to flag/flag pin issues when they have nothing else. And I think we've pretty much established that they have nothing else, because we know it's not about the issues.
