I guess that Biden bounce kind of fell flat.
Via Gallup Poll:
It’s official: Barack Obama has received no bounce in voter support out of his selection of Sen. Joe Biden to be his vice presidential running mate.
Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Aug. 23-25, the first three-day period falling entirely after Obama’s Saturday morning vice presidential announcement, shows 46% of national registered voters backing John McCain and 44% supporting Obama, not appreciably different from the previous week’s standing for both candidates. This is the first time since Obama clinched the nomination in early June, though, that McCain has held any kind of advantage over Obama in Gallup Poll Daily tracking.
The Charts:
The margin of error is 2%
So, I guess it is going to take more than just some old white man to convince the rest the America that Obama is the man for the Presidency.
It is quite obvious that Obama is really going to have his work cut out for him. Now I know, of course, that the convention will provide a bump in his ratings in the polls, but this does show that people are not as easily swayed as people might have thought.
It very much looks that way.

Obama said the VP pick would be his most important decision before he became President- and he made a lousy one. What does that tell you about what the rest of his decisions will be like if he gets the White House?
Yes, it does say a bit. Just what, I’m not sure about. Should be interesting.
