I know we are quite-properly focusing on Gustav, but CNN just announced the release of a new poll on the Presidential race.

The survey was taken after the Democratic Convention and after the Palin announcement so, presumably, Friday/Saturday and part of today.

For reference, prior to the convention CNN had the race tied 47-47

The new poll has Obama ahead 49-48.

So, at least with that poll, it does not seem there was much of a bounce from the convention (nor does any seem likely from the GOP convention).

Again, our main focus should be Gustav but just an interesting side-note as life does go on.
