Gallup: No Biden Bounce for Barack Obama – McCain on the Rise
by John Little on 26/08/2008Biden is, not surprisingly, a dud – chiefly so, I believe, because voters realize that no VP choice can offset Obama’s lack of experience:
It’s official: Barack Obama has received no bounce in voter support out of his selection of Sen. Joe Biden to be his vice presidential running mate.
Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Aug. 23-25, the first three-day period falling entirely after Obama’s Saturday morning vice presidential announcement, shows 46% of national registered voters backing John McCain and 44% supporting Obama, not appreciably different from the previous week’s standing for both candidates. This is the first time since Obama clinched the nomination in early June, though, that McCain has held any kind of advantage over Obama in Gallup Poll Daily tracking.
The convention doesn’t look like it’s going to fire off any spikes in the polls either but to be fair it’s early. The Democrats, however, don’t have many more days to waste.
