In the new poll, taken Friday through Sunday, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44%among those seen as most likely to vote. The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of error of +/— 3 points for both samples.

Rasmussen has different numbers but Barack Obama is falling off.

In the first national polling results based entirely on interviews conducted after Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech, Barack Obama gets 46% of the vote and so does John McCain. When "leaners" are included, it’s all even at 48%.

The numbers may not look as good as the USA Today poll, but interesting numbers are coming to the surface.

McCain earns the vote from 89% of Republicans while Obama is supported by 81%
of Democrats. McCain also manages to attract 15% of Democrats while Obama gets 9% of the Republican vote. Voters not affiliated with either major party remain fairly evenly divided between the two men.

McCain leads by seven points among men while Obama leads by six among women.
On Tuesday, when Obama’s lead peaked, he had a fourteen point advantage among
women.

Expect the advantage of men in McCain's numbers to increase dramatically as will the numbers for women. Obama has been on the campaign trail for 19 months, Palin has been on it for a less than a week.

Note to the MSM, Palin has been known to bake cookies for the press, as long as your good.......
