Gallup released it's latest poll showing that McCain had a whopping 15 point lead with independents over Obama. That lead expands to 20% when polling independents with no previous political leanings. Even Democrats who only favored McCain by 9% prior to the convention had swelled to 14%.
A post convention bump is normal for most candidates. Obama had a 8 point lead following his Friday night acceptance speech. But it appears that McCain has been greatly helped by the addition of Palin and her speech.
This race is far from over. Don't expect the Dems to take this lying down. Shots are being fired already. Obama has accused McCain and Palin of lying about being mavericks [story here and elsewhere on this blog].
