Actually, with leaners included, McCain has pulled slightly in front of Barack Obama.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Barack Obama and John McCain each attracting 44% of the vote for the second straight day. When “leaners” are included, though, McCain picked up another point since yesterday and now has a statistically insignificant one-point advantage over Obama, 47% to 46% (sign up for daily e-mail update).

This is the first time since August 9 that McCain has held any advantage over Obama. The candidates have been within two points of each other on every day but two for the past month (see recent daily results). Tracking Polls are released at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time each day.

McCain is viewed favorably by 56% of the nation’s voters, Obama by 53% (see trends).

Interesting. As I thought, the convention isn’t changing anyone’s minds about Obama.  After 18 months of repeating “hope and change” over and over again, you’ve either been hypnotized, or you haven’t. And, you know what they say about hypnosis. The more intelligent you are, the lower your chances of being hypnotized successfully.
