The latest poll finds Sen. Barack Obama with an eight-point lead over Sen. John McCain, reflecting a Democratic National Convention that has led to some measure of success.

Of the 2,727 interviews conducted by Gallup, 49 percent supported Obama while 41 percent backed McCain. The two presidential contenders were in a dead-heat at 45 percent each in a previous Gallup poll finished before the convention began.

"Obama's significant lead over McCain almost certainly reflects the effects of the Democratic National Convention," Gallup's Jeff Jones reported.

7. Any polls after Grandpa McSame picks the girl next door?

No offense to women, but he had to do his VP vetting by a magazine.

9. And that is before his Speech of the Century

McCain did indeed steal some of Obama's thunder with his Sarah Palin news but as "the Speech" sinks in and people talk about it and him, this lead should more than double..
