Shouldn't Obama be way ahead in the polls now, what with his European trip and the Convention?

Question

I can't understand why they are still so close. Someone explain this to me please.

Answer 1

You would think.  Gallop had him at with a little bump today but I suspect it will be short lived.  

Answer 2

He's 10 pts ahead now.

Answer 3

Because of all the gifts McCain keeps havng fall in his lap. Obama picking an old Washington insider Biden, Russia chopping it's lips at the prospects of another Carter, and now McCain picking Palin with the only executive experience in the race

Liberals saying women and seniors, the 2 largest voting blocks, aren't fit to govern, doesn't hurt either
