The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday is the first to include reaction to both Barack Obama’s acceptance speech and John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin to be his running mate. The numbers are little changed since yesterday and show Barack Obama attracting 47% of the vote nationwide while John McCain earns 43%. When "leaners" are included, it’s Obama 49% and McCain 45%

That's a 3 day rolling average, too. Give it a few days to factor in Sarah Palin.
Even if you don't like McCain, you sure have to hand it to him for the way he's managed to suck all the oxygen from the Obama campaign. His military pedigree is showing. He's methodically attacking each of Obama's strongholds, and busting them to match-sticks.
I've never liked McCain, and I don't like him now. But I'd sure as hell hate to go to war against the guy. He comes to play, and he plays to win. And Palin plays every bit as rough as he does.
