McCain Takes Lead Nationally and in Florida During Obama's VP Pick and Convention

It's pretty official... Joe Biden has done nothing for Obama so far. The Gallup Tracking poll showed Senator McCain ahead by 2 pts after two days of being tied. While this isn't a big jump, many were expecting Obama to take a significant lead with the VP pick and another with his convention ongoing. While the night to see a gain will be during his speech... this only adds to the signs that Americans are tired of the fake promises of hope, tired of Obama's inability to take a stance (he does want "change"), and are all ready to take a look at Senator McCain for real and proper action. Sen. Biden does not offer anything to Obama but even more questions about that ticket.

In addition to the national lead in the Gallup Daily... Senator McCain has also taken a larger lead in the state of Florida. An average of all the polls in August on Real Clear Politics now gives Senator McCain +3.8 lead. The latest Quinnipiac University poll shows a +4 point lead for Senator McCain now in Florida.
