The Gallup tracking poll now has Obama back up by two points — which compares with a five point post-convention lead for McCain. I think what we’re seeing here is that McCain got as much milage as he was going to get out of the initial Palin rollout and the standard convention bounce, and also, that the crisis on Wall Street has benefitted Obama. And I think McCain has made a huge blunder by putting Wall Street in his cross hairs with his heated rhetoric, especially since he isn’t offering any specifics, and certainly nothing coherent.
